I've now opened a Xapian ticket for this:
http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/402
Patches are certainly most welcome, especially as I'm currently trying to
focus on getting Xapian 1.2.0 out of the door.
I don't see a satisfactory workaround for it, sadly.

I recently noticed this gem version of (modified) xapian-bindings:
http://groups.google.com/group/acts_as_xapian/msg/1bbb1e0d3753a0b7
I've not had a chance to look at it yet though, so I don't know if the
changes mentioned are compatible or not. Assuming they're useful, they
probably should be folded in upstream - more idiomatic wrappers are a
desirable improvement (though if they're incompatible we'd need some
sort of migration plan). It doesn't seem productive to have forked
versions like this either.
Cheers,
Olly
