The attached example shows two stem-only notes and two hidden notes. In a modern work I'm transcribing in braille, the former notes can't be exported as <notehead>none</notehead>, but just the same as the other two, and can't be correctly translated in braille (they are lost because the software will filter hidden notes). Please see the same passage exported from Musescore and Sibelius.

Fixed in branch master, commit 8c5e6d2fcd

_Fix #327118 MusicXML: Export invisible noteheads as "none"

Avoid setting `` because that hides other
parts of the note in addition to the head, which causes problems for
some MusicXML importers and Braille conversion tools. Use
none instead._
