Certainly not by design. Also it works for me!
Couple of questions: Did this start occurring at any particular release of 
beagle ? While beagled is running, could you touch the java file and see if 
you get results back. 

If you built beagle from source, could you paste the highly verbose output of
$ cd /path/to/beagle/source
$ cd beagled
$ ./beagle-dump-index /path/to/some/file.java

Please file an enhancement bug in bugzilla.
