I just ran into this one. Dynamically generated nodes have no prefix.  
There's a thread in the developer list talking about this:

	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xmlbeans.devel/645/focus=651


The only mentioned workaround I could get working was to save the XML  
first, then reparse it. That's enough to get the prefixes properly  
assigned.
