Quite a ways back, I had a similar question, and the answer I had gotten
was similar to:

A. Google only shows back links with a PR > 3 or hides other for some
secret reason

B. Google hasn't updated its back links database for a while, and there
really are links that just aren't showing up yet in Google.

It was enough to satisfy my curiosity - especially since about a week
later I had a PR boost and about 3 dozen back links started appearing in
Google.
