The following works for me in 2.6 and 2.7 (the former my existing
installations on Windows, Cygwin and Linux, the latter freshly
installed on Windows):

>>> from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
>>> d=parseString("<r xmlns:x='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' x:about='#foo'/>")
>>> d.firstChild.getAttributeNode('x:about').localName
u'about'
>>> d.firstChild.getAttributeNode('x:about').namespaceURI
u'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'

What am I missing?
