In order to analyse positions with table stakes using gnubg, I put together a special met (http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/tkoch/Backgammon/limit8.xml). Now I was wondering if this position

X on roll, cube decision?

is a correct double/beaver even without Jacobyrule if the table stakes are set to 8 times the initial stakes (it is on snowie 3ply)!? But of course using a met makes gnubg work in match mode so beavers are not allowed. Is there a way to allow for beavers even in a match? If not, how can I deduce from the results of the rollout if a beaver would be correct?

Cube analysis
Rollout cubeless equity +0.498 (Money: +0.499)

Cubeful equities:
1. Double, take +0.594
2. Double, pass +1.000 ( +0.406)
3. No double +0.520 ( -0.073)
Proper cube action: Double, take
Rollout details:
Centered 1-cube:
0.538 0.295 0.129 - 0.462 0.000 0.000 CL +0.498 CF +0.520
[0.003 0.002 0.002 - 0.003 0.000 0.000 CL 0.008 CF 0.017]
Player Alice owns 2-cube:
