Thank you Hami. That assisted in solving the issue. The 'stubborn_field' incorrectly did not have any data binding associated to it. Upon adding the binding using the LiveCycle designer the field was correctly updated and displayed in the generated PDF as per the XML.
Interestingly, before I added the data binding to the field, I removed the <xfa:data xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/";> tag from the XML that I was using to update the XFA form and the 'stubborn_field' was successfully updated and displayed.
