RNG treats mixed content as a special case, with extra restrictions.
We've been over this recently:

It's not nearly as strange as W3C XML Schema, admittedly.

What's been acceptable RDF?  Given that you created that set of
restrictions with RDF in mind, I'd be surprised if they didn't produce
acceptable RDF.  What I said was that your flavor of XML is the
least-painful version of RDF I've yet seen.  That in itself is an
achievement.
