The use of extended attributes is central to the entire indexing
infrastructure, so the check done unconditionally.  It doesn't have
anything to do with the .noindex file (or even the filesystem backend,
really).

What you can do is use the BEAGLE_HOME environment variable to point
beagle at a different place to index.  You could set up a fake home
directory somewhere in /tmp and point BEAGLE_HOME there.
