NodeModels from namespaced DOM Elements

Hi guys.

Do you need to do something special to use NodeModels build from a 
namespaced DOM Element?  Attached please find a test that works when the 
XML is not namespaced, but fails when it is namespaced.

The FreeMarker error I get is....

18:09:27,170 ERROR [main][runtime]
Error on line 1, column 3 in free-marker-template
Expecting a string, date or number here, Expression item.nachname is 
instead a freemarker.ext.dom.NodeListModel
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> ${item.nachname} [on line 1, column 1 in free-marker-template]
----------

Java backtrace for programmers:
----------
