Sharing the response on this thread of clarity.

Find the demo project here:

https://github.com/abhinavmishra14/alfresco-metadataextraction-demo

I had an observation between community and enterprise versions. Examples i gave above works perfectly fine with enterprise versions of 5.2.x (i used 5.2.6) and 6.1.x(used 6.1), but properties files are not getting picked correctly (its some sort of intermittent behavior) on community editions. 

Only change i did is highlighted below for community edition and it picks up always corretly.

<property name="mappingProperties">
    <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
	<property name="location">
	   <value>classpath:alfresco/module/${project.artifactId}/metadataextraction/TikaAutoMetadataExtracter.properties</value>
	</property>
    </bean>
</property>

On enterprise version both works fine, above path and below given path as well:

<value>classpath:alfresco/metadata/TikaAutoMetadataExtracter.properties</value>

This one also works on both versions:

<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/metadata/TikaAutoMetadataExtracter.properties</value>

https://github.com/abhinavmishra14/alfresco-metadataextraction-demo/blob/master/metadata-extractor-demo52/metadata-extractor-demo52-platform-jar/src/main/resources/alfresco/module/metadata-extractor-demo52-platform-jar/context/metadata-extractor-context.xml#L17

I am not sure what difference the two type of versions (community and enterprise) has in terms of extension points, tried looking at source code but no clues. But good news is that the other path i shared above (available in demo project) works fine for both community and enterprise versions.

Hope this helps.
