The problem:
I have a search service application in my farm, My only content source contains several claims-aware SSL Web applications. Unfortunately, for some reason, the gatherer was not able to crawl them, throwing a 404 status, for no apparent reason. Deleting and re-creating the search service application did not help matters at all. The ULS logs did not show anything unusual, and neither did the IIS logs.
The solution:
Actually, it was more like a workaround that my co-worker and I invented. He has another SharePoint farm on the same domain. We made our farms trust each other, and then I made my farm consume his search service application. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee704558.aspx on how exactly to do this. Then, I created my own content source and added my own crawl rule and registered my own custom security trimmer. After all these manipulations, the search worked!
