It certainly does.  Remember what Dumbledore said about Voldemort's first 
rise to power -- how it was accompanied by unexplained disappearances?  And 
we know she's a muggle-born, which might make her a more likely victim for 
Voldemort and/or his Death Eaters for whatever reason.

And it's the *only* thing we know about her.  She could have all kinds of 
interesting background which could explain a disappearance.

I don't, however, think she's being held hostage for Percy's good behavior 
as a spy.  If Voldemort wanted Percy as a spy, the last thing he'd do would 
be to have him break off with his family, thereby insuring that he would get 
no useful information.

Just some ideas off the top of my head,

(But of course this may all be nothing and Penelope and Percy may have 
broken up, or be continuing their relationship elsewhere.  Wouldn't you, if 
you had Fred and George for brothers?)
