Sorry, there is a mistake in my post:

I wrote:
>>   <xsl:variable name="ns-node">
>>       <xsl:element name="ns-element" namespace="{$target}"/>
>>   </xsl:variable>
>>
>>   <xsd:schema>

I put 'ns-element' so that you could follow the logic.  Big mistake,
because 'ns-element' only matches elements in no namespace.
ns-element *is* in a namespace, so nothing gets copied.  When I tested
it I saw the namespace declaration copied from the stylesheet...

Instead, write
select="saxon:node-set($ns-node)/*/namespace::*[local-name()='']"/>

Tested using Saxon 6.5.1.  Properly this time!

Watch out for one extra wrinkle though: things get complicated again
if you declare a namespace with an empty prefix on the stylesheet:
Saxon tries to copy the node twice, and objects.  You might want to
use a prefix because of this.
