It's still reproducible, but for step 1, please use the attached score instead.

Does MXML have this kind of note head?
If it doesn't, then there is no way to export this info to it and this is not a MuseScore bug but a limitation of MXML; if it does, then this is a bug.

Currently the MusicXML exporter does not support the note head type "brevis head alt", which explains the observed behaviour. I am not sure if this notehead type is supported, as the spec is not completely clear. Will have to investigate.
MusicXML does not have a way to save this particular type of notehead.
(for reference search for "notehead" in the note module:
http://www.makemusic.com/musicxml/specification/dtd/note-module
)
I suppose the closest visual approximation is:
<notehead filled="no">rectangle</notehead>
However, this refers to a different notehead than one we are talking about here.
What about 'postponed'?
I'm thinking about MusicXML 4.0.
I'm going to mark as postponed, since a future version of MusicXML could support it.
