Thank you for this useful information. I'm not sure the best way to handle this for the library yet. I initially planned on packaging the pre-compiled dtbo files, but I think they need to be compiled to each specific kernel version being used. Too bad these Debian and Ubuntu distributions for the BBB don't include the latest version of dtc yet!
In the meantime, this thread is a good resource I can point folks to that are running into this issue.

Re: Adafruit_BBIO.SPI
i just had the same problem and here's how i solved it
(using the armhf.com's debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img)
* wget -c https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/to ... kgs/dtc.sh
* chmod +x dtc.sh
* ./dtc.sh
* git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
* cd adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
* sudo python setup.py install
* sudo reboot
the .dtbo files should have automatically ended up in the right place and uart+spi work (after a reboot). thanks to Robert Nelson for his dtc script.
