I think the website is wrong. You probably need to add a '-' before the 
'load'. See the following:

"-fplugin-arg-dragonegg-llvm-option=-load:/sw/opt/llvm-3.2/lib/LLVMPolly.dylib"

Please let me know if this works, such that I can update the website.

As you realized yourself, Polly and clang need to be in sync. Otherwise 
incompatible symbols cause problems.
