I'm not sure what ReplacePmnsSubtree does (that is after my time), but I
think this whole dynamic pmns approach we've used has been wrong.

Much simpler and more robust would be for non-terminals in the pmns to
be marked as "proxied at pmda" and pmcd to pass all namespace requests
through to the pmda.

I'll try and knock up a design document to descibe how I think this
should work as the basis for discussion.

Independent of this, the issue should go into bugzilla so I make sure it
is addressed in any redesign.
