Have you tried it with xmlns()? Something like this:

 <xi:include href="..."
     xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook) 
               xpointer(/db:chapter/db:title)" />

I'm not sure if it works with Xerces.

I use mainly xmllint for XInclude processing. You can use it outside your 
editor too. Luckily, xmllint is available for Linux and Windows. See 
http://xmlsoft.org/ for more information.
