Ah, so it's because exiv2 prior to 0.15 doesn't support that stuff from

That is kind of expected behavior -- it failed to load that data, so it
uses an empty value.

Instead of an outdated copy of dcraw, we use libkdcraw now. If you don't
have RAW files, you can disable it (and yeah, that was in release notes
:-P).
