I can't believe that I copied your example, and failed to spot that it
still does not test the point.  It still uses the prefix in the NAME
of the attribute, not its CONTENT.  So it is expected that the
corresponding binding is in scope.

A correct example is the following, and it gives the expected result
(that is, the prefix is not bound, because nothing in the result
sequence contains namespace nodes...)

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
   <xsl:template name="main">
      <result>
         <xsl:variable name="attr" as="attribute()" xmlns:t="urn:other">
            <xsl:attribute name="test" select="'t:test'"/>
         </xsl:variable>
         <xsl:sequence select="$attr"/>
      </result>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
