Bad. I dont remember what changed between 0.2.9 and 0.2.11 but lets give it 
another try. You said you built from source. Also, you mentioned that you 
removed your ~/.beagle directory and then reindexed everything - right ?

Go to beagle src directory.
cd beagled
./beagle-dump-index /path/to/Apolline_pyjama_rose.jpg
./beagle-dump-index /path/to/Apolline_bedroom1.jpg

Assuming you last indexed with xattr turned on,
what are the outputs of
getfattr -d /path/to/Apolline_pyjama_rose.jpg
getfattr -d /path/to/Apolline_bedroom1.jpg

(getfattr -d dumps the extended attributes set on a file)
