XMPP: Ejabberd not forwarding custom IQ with namespace prefix to user

Question

I must send a custom IQ from eva@pc377/Smack using my own namespace http://www.test.com/test to a specific user bob@pc377/Smack. When I use OpenFire everything works fine, but Ejabberd does not forward this IQ to the user. In the log file I see, that the IQ is received by the server, internally dispatched to the Session Manager, but not forwarded to the user. If I send a Message, it is forwarded correctly. I am using a Java-based Smack-Client.

Does Ejabberd require a specific configuration for forwarding custom IQs?

Try it with simpler XML:

<iq id="0j8w6-8" to="bob@pc377/Smack" type="set">
    <register-request xmlns="http://www.test.com/test">
       <node-id>550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000</node-id>
       <properties>
          <path>.</path>
          <delivery-mode>1</delivery-mode>
       </properties>
   </register-request>
</iq>

If that doesn't work, try renaming register-request and delivery-mode to remove the dash. Neither of these changes should be required, but either would help the ejabberd team find a bug.
