Are you talking about getting the data from beacons that are doing
non-connectable advertising?
I'm sure Johan will correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is what
he has recently fixed.
I believe there have been a problem with this in 5.37 and before.
Although this should now be fixed by this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=43657d77037302268b6ef02724c66eda416cf3e7
The beacons in tools have also been corrected:
