Exactly. That's the indented behavior.

Likely because your implementation does not provide the txng_hook. I 
*strongly* recommended providing an adapter for IIndexableContent. The 
original behavior of TXNG 2.X to provide binary content content through an 
attribute or a method (which is the default behavior of almost index 
implementations) is no longer supported in 3.X because it just sucks.
So either use txng_get() (which is deprecated for 3.X) or implemented the 
IIndexableContent API. That's the way to go.
