Depending on which demo site you are using, it may in fact be LibLime
Enterprise Koha you are seeing. If so, there's no way of knowing which bugs
have been fixed in their version.

The fact that it's not working on your machine is probably due to the
aforementioned bug. You might try the fix mentioned in the mailing list
message.
