Ok, assuming there is no xsi:type in the XML document, that element is
a non-polymorphic anyType.

Besides --generate-polymorphic you should also have one or more of the
--polymorphic-type* options and one of them (such as --polymorphic-type-all)
forces treating anyType as polymorphic. You can try to "tighten" these
options to only treat types that are truly polymorphic as such (of course,
it's possible that somewhere else in your schema anyType is used as a
polymorphic base in which case this workaround won't work).

I think it's safe to say this is a bug. As described above, anyType can
be used both ways in the same vocabulary and the generated code should
be smart enough to handle it.
