The code in QueryParser expects prefixes to be all uppercase and/or
digits.  It then adds a colon if the term starts with uppercase or
a digit, to disambiguate where the term starts.  It doesn't expect
you to add your own colon in the prefix.

However, it would be easy to tweak it to support your usage.  I'll
check something in shortly.
