There still seems to be a problem with this change. I have the
following query (reduced from a real production query):

declare namespace tr = "testrun";

let $recipe :=
  document {
    element {node-name(<tr:TestRecipe xmlns:tr="testrecipe"/>)} {}
  }
let $run := <tr:TestRun/>
return (namespace-uri($run), namespace-uri($recipe/element()))

When I run this query, I expect the following sequence: ("testrun",
"testrecipe"). This query yielded the expected result until trunk
revision 8321. With this revision of eXist, the following result is
returned: ("testrecipe", "testrecipe"), i.e., when the tr:TestRun
element is created, eXist considers tr to be a prefix for
"testrecipe", even though the relevant namespace declaration is not in
scope at this point. Things started working again when
ElementConstructor was reverted to its pre-8321 state in revision
8364, but broke again in revision 8390.

I hope this helps to locate the problem.

With kind regards,
