Internally in ant the <uri>:<name> form is used (rather
that {uri}name) for a stringized versions of xml namespaced names.
In dom it seems that the prefix is used in the qualified name.
so e.setAttributeNS(uri, qName, value) should be of
the form:
e.setAttributeNS("http://example.com";, "abc:hello", "hello world")
(see: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/cgmo-webcgm/200411/msg00004.html)
Unfortunally the ant code does not retain the prefix of the attribute
(encoded
in the qname) see ProjectHelper2:line 1048.

I would say DOM is a bit 'flexible' about that as this was not very much
specified, so implementation more or less allow it and try to do some
kind of magic later one to try to make sense of it. But my understanding
is that you are correct.
You have some info about it though:
