DACP doesn't work properly using Rhythmbox and TunesRemote+

Description
[I can't say with certitude which one of Rhythmbox and TunesRemote+ (DACP client on Android, http://code.google.com/p/tunesremote-plus/) is the culprit, but since everything is working fine using iTunes on Windows+TunesRemote+, I'm filling the bug report here.]
Neither the covert art, the currently playing song, the rating, nor the song progress will display on TunesRemote+ (TR+) while connected to Rhythmbox (RB), with a song playing. Still, I can use the controls from TR+ to adjust the volume, next, previous, play/pause. I can also browse the music. In fact, the only controls missing are the seeking -- since the seek bar is not working, it will actually stay gray and display 0:00 seconds played and left --, and, similarly, the rating.
I've been able to test it out on a Windows system with iTunes, and have done some dump using Wireshark. I've attached the txt (sorry for that) dump got on win, and another between RB and TR+. I'll try to have something more useful when I get another chance to have access to a windows machine.
One first thing I can notice is that TR+ never requests the artwork (GET /ctrl-int/1/nowplayingartwork request) while working with RB. It does with iTunes, and I can't find the exact reason why.
