it is disabled like so because current implementation is fubar on qtractor

a not so short answer: the lv2-state-files extension feature it's all 
about making lv2 plugin full state serialized through session data files 
and folders, porbably making it all portable across machines and stuff. 
ardour might work this way (all session media adata is under a session 
directory), but qtractor doesn't (all media files are links to anywhere 
on your file-system, until you the user say he/she wants to store them 
later in a .qtz zip/archive, being that an option, not the norm)

as things are atm. if you turn it on at configure time, the lv2-state 
extension won't live to its prospect from qtractor pov. :)

to my knowledge, linuxsampler-lv2 is the only one which supports all 
that, provided you source it from the bleeding-edgy svn trunk.

and now for the fun part: drobilla might ask sooner or later to fubarize 
all that xD scnr.
