I believe you’re bumping up against a limitation in the xs:QName
constructor. See: https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xpath-functions-31/html/Overview.html#constructor-qname-notation

Using fn:QName() instead of xs:QName() here will avoid the problem, I
believe. You’ll have to use *-from-QName() functions to get the URI and
local name (and prefix, if you care).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
