Can you post minimal but complete samples allowing us to reproduce the 
problem?
When I try the input file

<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"; version="5.0">
[...]
<div>
<egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"; valid="true">
  For more information, consult the
  <ref target="mol:linking#linking_graphics"> guide to
  linking graphic content</ref>.</egXML>
</div>
[...]
</TEI>

with the stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

running Saxon-HE 9.5.1.3J from the command line I get the output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><TEI 
xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"; version="5.0">
[...]
<div>
<egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"; valid="true">
  For more information, consult the
  <ref target="mol:linking#linking_graphics"> guide to
  linking graphic content</ref>.</egXML>
</div>
[...]
</TEI>

So how do you run Saxon? Are you sure it is Saxon serializing the result 
when you get those strange prefixes?
