This is still a bug.  The DOM API allows for the case where the prefix is not specified.  In such cases, the serializer needs to generate a prefix.

In my testing, the serializer clearly assumes the prefix property will be present.  The extra default namespace comes from the attempt to declare the prefix used for the namespace attribute.  When the prefix is not specified and there needs to be a prefix, the wrong thing happens.

I have a simple example the demonstrates the problem that I will attach.
