Dear Christoph, licenses short names that are not specified in the DEP are considered private in the scope of the document being parsed. This means that FOO, or X-FOO, is not guaranteed to be the same license in two different copyright files. For that reason, I think that an X- prefix is not useful. Also, to reduce complexity of the parsing, it is required to pick a different short name for each license that is documented in the copyright file. If you encounter a license that is very rare and has no usual short name, pick one name that makes sense to you. As explained above, this will not go beyond the scope of your copyright file anyway.
