Yes, I've noticed this several times. I think that if there is an 
<?xml-model..?> or <?oxygen..?> then oXygen should give priority 
to this, but as far as I can tell it doesn't.

We don't have a way for people to _easily_ update just the 
oxygen-tei framework used in their version of oXygen doing some 
quite geeky things.  (So by easy I mean go to a list of document 
type associations / frameworks and click 'check for updates' and 
have it automatically done if there is a new update.)  Maybe we 
should suggest to oXygen?

It would be good on new releases to be able to say 'Download it 
from here, or if you are in oXygen click the 'check for new tei 
releases' button.
