Do you mean you have something like:
     $queryparser->add_boolean_prefix('acc', 'Q');
or something else?

Do you mean you have a document in your database that has Q1W2E3 as a term? 
I'm guessing not because of what you say below, so what is the term you have 
entered in the database for the ID "Q1W2E3"?

This doesn't sound like a stemming issue (though I could be wrong :) ). If I 
have "acc" as a boolean prefix here with the above queryparser line, a query 
for acc:Q1W2E3 to QueryParser becomes:
     Xapian::Query(0 * QQ1W2E3)
and if I don't have "acc" as a boolean prefix, it becomes:
     Xapian::Query((acc:(pos=1) PHRASE 2 q1w2e3:(pos=2)))
ie. it's treated as a phrase search.

Do you have some short example code that exhibits the issue?
