True.. It worked for me, cause the first request after clearing the 
cache will include the ext_tables files as well.. sorry for the confusion.

We could make this to work by moving the "Autoloader" block some lines 
up before the "Include configuration" block in index_ts.php
And then replace the last line
'language' => t3lib_extMgm::extPath('lang') . 'lang.php',
by
'language' => PATH_site.'typo3/sysext/lang/lang.php',
in t3lib/core_autoload.php

Then autoloaders registered in ext_localconf would be loaded after the 
TYPO3 autoloader.

But I can see that this is a quite radical change..


After all, if we only need the ext_autoload.php file for extbase itself, 
nobody will complain. I was under the impression, that every extbase 
extension needs to register all of it's classes explicitly which seemed 
rather tedious.
