I had the exact same thing about a month ago this problem suddenly appeared.

www.domain.com - NO PR grey bar
www.domain.com/index.htm - PR4

What i found is when i was doing internal linking i was linking to the www.domain.com/index.htm but not all, a couple of them were going to www.domain.com/

But most important all my inbound links were going to www.domain.com/

So i change all my internal links to www.domain.com/ instead of www.domain.com/index.htm and shortly after the grey bar stopped appearing at all and now www.domain.com/ shows PR and no more grey bar
