I tried a source snapshot (SVN 9657) and got the following :

$ xapian-check db_with_spelling/spelling.DB
baseA blocksize=8K items=603348 lastblock=30861 revision=109 levels=2 root=437
B-tree checked okay
spelling table: Don't know how to check structure

No errors found

$ xapian-check db_with_spelling/postlist.DB
baseB blocksize=8K items=925148 lastblock=24529 revision=109 levels=2 root=6
B-tree checked okay
Extra bytes after key for first chunk of posting list for term `'

$ xapian-compact db_with_spelling db_with_spelling_compact
postlist ...xapian-compact: DatabaseCorruptError: Bad postlist key

User meta-data is indeed used in this database.
