I was having trouble using the advertising api in my own code, so
decided to run the example-advertisement python test to rule out
errors in my code. This doesn't work either - I get the following
error message:
LEAdvertisingManager1 interface not found
I know the advertising api is experimental. My bluez was built with
--enable-experimental and I'm running bluetoothd with the -E flag.
It seems like this is an environment issue, but I don't find any
suggestions when I try googling for help. Is there anything obvious
that I'm missing?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm running bluez on a raspberry pi 2 and
as far as I can tell, there isn't an easy path to a 4.1 kernel. I
applied all the updates to my installation and ended up at 4.07. I
don't have a lot of linux background, but from googling the topic, it
seems like 4.1 is so new that it isn't universally available.

Yep, currently Linux 4.1 is required, you can actually check if your
kernel support with the tools/mgmt-tester:
sudo ./tools/mgmt-tester -p "Read Advertising"
sudo ./tools/mgmt-tester -p "Add Advertising"
The tests should all pass otherwise bluetoothd wont be able to work
since it depends on these commands to manage the advertising data.

I faced the similar issue and got resolved after updating the kernel to latest one.
Then it is able to successfully register.
