I would have expected that to work, but I'm not an xmlbeans expert

Are you able to produce a very small unit test (possibly with a dummy 
schema file) that shows up the problem? People may have more luck in 
understanding your problem if they can look at some code. If not, at least 
the "produce a unit test for the bug" part is covered!
