Simon, May I be so bold as to inquire, how does the beaming "clearly indicate" nothing more than distribution of notes between hands? I also present the final measure of the Gigue of the French Suite VI in which all of the notes are ascribed to the right hand yet the structure is three groups of four against two groups of three. To dismiss the possibility of a hemiola might deny some of Bach's playfulness.

A hemiola is a totally different thing, where e.g. in 3/8 time two measures are somewhat stressed like one 3/4 measure. There are different interpretations of the phenomenon, which mainly occurs at cadenzas.
