Your problem is quite old now and maybe you’ve already solved it. Anyway, I’ve just run into this problem, so I’ll describe it (for anyone who will experience it in the future).

How it behaves for most of the users (when it’s working):
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will be correctly notified about being mentioned.

I’m almost sure this is the problem you’re describing:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, deny search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will not be notified about being mentioned.

Another connected problem:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Change “WordPress address” and “Site Address” (this is not that unusual – especially when you’re moving your site from localhost to some valid place).
3) Install Buddypress.
4) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
5) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
6) Try no mention one of the users -> the user will see the notification, but when he/she clicks on it, no mention will be displayed in the activity part.

To sum up:
– denying search engines from indexing your site will disable mention notifications from bbPress forums
– changing WordPress and site address after the installation leads to empty mention list in the activity part (however, the notification in the toolbar will be displayed).
