That's odd, as common/config explicitly turns on user xattrs:

        reiserfs)
                # acls & xattrs aren't turned on by default on reiserfs
                export MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o acl,user_xattr $REISERFS_MOUNT_OPTIONS"

If you run it on the scratch fs instead of the test fs you can use
_scratch_mkfs_sized to hand craft a small fs, which would be nice
to get a decent runtime.
