You probably didn't add the metadataAttributePrefix setting to the ApplicationDefaults element. I believe this is documunted.

For reasons of "not rewriting whole sections of core code", all the metadata extraction plugins have to run through the hacks I used to disambiguate user attributes from metadata tags that happen to be identical. It also just avoids accidents, by ensuring that nothing you name accidentally that matches a user extraction rule ever collides.
