Hey Frank --
Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how the local search reviews are
indexed. However, I think the Webmaster Central group would know
best, as they are the community that discusses search engine indexing.
Here is a link to their group:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters?hl=en
If you find the answer there, please let us know back here :) And if
you find nothing, let me know and I'll see if there's anything more
that I do for you.
Thanks,
Ben
