processContents and Namespaces

I have a complex type defined like this:

  <complexType name="errValueType" mixed="true">
    <sequence>
      <any namespace="##any" processContents="skip"/>
    </sequence>
    <anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="skip"/>
  </complexType>

and an element of the above type that looks like this:

  <value><obj:elem1>2525</obj:elem1></value>

I get the following validation error out of Xerces-J 1.4.4:

[Error] test.xml:9:25: The namespace prefix "obj" was not declared.

and this from Xerces-J 2.0.0 beta4:

[Fatal Error] test.xml:9:25: The prefix "obj" for element "obj:elem1" is not
bound.

The "obj" namespace is not declared in the XML instance, but why do both
Xerces-J 1.4.4 and 2.0.0 beta4 complain about it if namespace="##any" and
processContents="skip"?

This has nothing to do with validation. The document isn't wellformed, so
it's already rejected by a lower processing layer.
