Things have changed for the better. The official word from the immigration authority in Sana'a is that all citizens of Schengen countries get a 3 month visa at the border.
Unfortunately, not all border officials are up-to-date on this, so I only got 1 month and 3 Frenchmen I met told me they had been turned back at the Omani border. If this sort of thing happens to you, smile and explain the rules. Failing that, insist that the officials ring head office. When I went there to get my visa extended I was told that one month was wrong and so they extended it without charge.
