Could you do a fn:prefix-from-QName($x) = fn:in-scope-prefixes(.) check before doing the castable as check?
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-xpath20-20070123/#id-castable "[if] the input argument of the expression is of type xs:string but it is not a literal string, the result of the castable expression is false."
