Hmmm, I admit I'm not using embedded, and I'm using 3.2, but I'm not seeing the behavior you are.
My question about reindexing could have been better stated, I was just making sure you didn't have some leftover cruft where your field was multi-valued from previous experiments, but if you're reindexing each time that's not the problem. Arrrggggh, camel case may be striking again. Try multiValued, not multivalued.... If that's still not it, can we see the code?
