I also observed that they didn't seem to be working. Thinking that I hadn't done the right kind of activities to earn the badge, I headed over to the badge listing page to read about the criteria. Sure enough, I thought I should have earned at least a couple by now...but no. It is curious that the Beta version of the StackExchange software doesn't just work.
One change that might want to be considered is changing the levels required to be reached to earn some of the higher badges.
