I am running 2.7 and alpha 5 with the same problem and can’t get the roles to work either. I did everything the way it was described to do.. even did a clean install of a website and bbpress to test it out and it didn’t assign roles there either.

I used the bbpress integration plugin as well.

I have 44,000 members, so this is a bit of an issue for me. I had to manually go in and assign roles to about 15,000 members and have to manually assign roles for all new members, which is about 100 a day, and a real pain.
