Have another look at the NR:

"If a beamExceptions rule is defined for the time signature in force, that 
rule alone is used to determine the beam placement; the values of baseMoment 
and beatStructure are ignored."

The default time signature is 4/4, which does have a beamExceptions rule: as 
the NR says, you have to clear that rule.
