%%%This adds an object's string, int and float dynamic attributes to an exported FBX file. This helps with game engines or other tools that can use additional information attached to objects during import.

How to test it with Unity:
Put the example script from http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessGameObjectWithUserProperties.html into a JavaScript file in the Editor folder.
Create a Blender scene and add dynamic attributes to an object.
During import you should see the dynamic attributes reported to the console.
How to get a file to compare this against:
If you have a license for 3DS Max you can follow the instructions from the answer at http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/218883/onpostprocessgameobjectwithuserproperties-user-pro.html . Export that scene as an Ascii FBX.

I am missing this feature from Blender 2.69. Was there a problem with it or should I resubmit a patch against the new fbx exporter script?

export_fbx.patch New patch against Blender 2.69, including escaping for ampersand and quote. Example output:

			Property: "prop", "double", "U",1.000000
			Property: "prop1", "KString", "U","&quot;string&quot; &amp; text"
			Property: "prop2", "int", "U",1
			Property: "prop3", "int", "U",0

This get picked up correctly by Unity3D.

(I assume escaping for ampersand is optional. My own code handles it, but I don't have a Max license to see which characters are escaped by default.)

Is there any update for this - it's a required feature for anyone trying to export to game engines?
There is no support in Blender 2.71

This was added to the new binary FBX exporter. You'll have to either export your model manually or tweak the Unity export script to use the binary exporter.
I'm not sure if it is in the 2.71 release, but it is definitely in the current nightly build.
