Looking at it again, I understand my mistake. The \: is not parsed as part of a delimited, but is parsed as a continuing part of an identifier so the entire string is taken as a valid element name. So correct behaviour, albeit weird, but that's life. So, my mistake. Need to mark this as "not a bug".
