I was wrong. XMLSearch is not broken. Steven Erat at Talking Tree made a post about this issue on his blog.
The issue has to do with setting a namespace without using a prefix qualifier. Here is an example from Steven's blog;
/:BackgroundReports/:ProviderReferenceId/:IdValue
By placing the colons after the forward slashes, you are telling the search that the elements are in a no-name namespace. This should return the results you are looking for in your xml.
Thank you Steven Erat for pointing out what was actually happening.
