Thanks Ollie.  I tried that however it is still not finding the document.

I pass the string 

"extid:1234" (without quotes) 

into the query_parser and Query_get_description($query) returns

Xapian::Query(extid1234:(pos=1))

So it looks like it's searching for the term "extid1234" rather than "1234" 
withing the extid prefix.
