rsync thinks the xttarr is not updated

I am running rsync 3.0.7 and I think I have hit the following bug from 
3.0.1:

NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (3 Apr 2008) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 
3.0.0:
Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to 
not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.

However because I am running rsync over a lustre file system, I am not 
sure if this is the same bug.
How could I test this??
Please see below the symptom :
*
