You are right regarding to the addressing the custom/schema attribute. 
It should be $user/extension/ext:city and ext should be declared as a 
prefix for your namespace.

Consider this example:

                <attribute>
                     <ref>ri:managerPersonNumber</ref>
                     <displayName>Manager Employee Number</displayName>
                     <access>read</access>
                     <inbound>
                       <target>
                         
<path>*$user/extension/customer1:managerEmployeeNumber*</path>
                       </target>
                     </inbound>
                 </attribute>

I define the "*customer1*" prefix for my custom namespace in the XML 
file with my resource/object definition:

<objects xmlns="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-2a"
xmlns:c="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-2a"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns:q="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/query-2"
xmlns:ri="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/resource/instanc
e-2"
            xmlns:my="http://myself.me/schemas/whatever"
xmlns:icfs="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/connector/icf-
1/resource-schema-2"
xmlns:icfc="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/connector/icf-1/connector-schema-2"
*xmlns:customer1="http://evolveum.com/customer1"*>

     <resource oid="ef2bc95b-76e0-48e2-86d6-a000ff000002">
...

This definitely works. (It's from my customer resource definition.)

Maybe you are encountering a bug with embedded XML editor. I recommend 
you to use an XML file with your resource definition and put the inbound 
and the custom attribute and namespaces there. (This will also help you 
in the future if you want to track your configuration changes in 
Subversion, git etc.)

Please let me know if it works this way (it should, we're using it). If 
there is a bug with the embedded editor, we have to confirm it in trunk 
(to-be-2.2 version). So let us know anyway.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ivan
