I came across that post and Teknoman's library a few weeks ago. I have been able to compile it and get the eQEP to work on 3.8.13-bone28 Ubuntu 12.04 (shortly before I carelessly shorted my BBB). Yes, the position sysfs entry does change when I use it. The only problems I noticed were you have to make sure you're hooked up to the correct pins, and the pullup/pulldown settings don't seem to do anything in eQEP mode.
