I still can't reproduce. Here are the exact steps I'm taking:

1) Delete ~/.mixxx/mixxxdb.sqlite (if you have spent time on your library
this will delete it -- save a backup instead of deleting it)
2) Restart Mixxx, my library is re-scanned
3) Nothing shows up in Analyze view (this is another bug apparently), reboot
Mixxx
4) Go to Analyze view, highlight and analyze a BPM 0.0 track.
5) BPM analysis completes, BPM is populated in Analyze View table.
6) Drag and drop analyzed track to Player 1, BPM shows up immediately, BPM
analysis is not run by Mixxx (can tell via console)
7) Switch back to 'Library' view, the BPM that was detected is shown in the
library table
8) Drag and drop the analyzed track from Library View to Player 2, BPM is
immediately populated to the right value. BPM analysis is not run by Mixxx
(can tell via console)

So I was totally wrong about there not being BPM-related fixes since 1.8.0
beta2 was released. If those exact steps reproduce the bug for you, then I
think this is fixed in the latest 1.8 revision in the repositories. Until a
beta3, a 1.8.0 RC, or 1.8.0 comes out, I would suggest compiling from
source. It's pretty easy to get setup for Debian, just apt-get build-dep
mixxx, install bzr, `bzr branch lp:mixxx/1.8 ./mixxx-1.8' will get you the
code, and then just type 'scons' in the 'mixxx-1.8/mixxx' subfolder. More
details here:

Thanks!
