This is actually a bug in hal-info (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22450)

I found that the tag wasn't reliably applied for my device, apparently because
immediately after the 'add' event, there was sometimes a 'change' event.  After
changing the rules to process both adds and changes, the tag always shows up.

I'm more or less done with this, and rhythmbox will probably start using it in a
week or two.
