Yes (though to be clear TermGenerator::index_text_without_positions indexes
text *without* positional data).

I can't think what might be causing this.

We don't have test coverage for TermGenerator in Ruby currently, but I don't
see how this could be broken there - it is just automatically generated by
SWIG.  And this definitely works in C++, Python, and Perl.

Could you try to reduce this to a simple self-contained (other than Xapian!)
Ruby script?
