mod_smacks call 'clone' function for stanza with attr field being nil, causing error

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run prosody (0.9 or 0.10) server with mod_smacks enabled
2. Connect to server with Gajim - this works, then exit Gajim
3. Connect to server with Gajim second time (from the same computer) - 
connection does not proceed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
That the second connection would succeed. Instead prosody log shows error:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux debian wheezy, prosody 0.9 or 0.10,
mod_smacks latest (Revision: 8ac4438925cf)
Gajim 0.16 (compiled from the source)

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is introduced in the last commit (8ac4438925cf) on lines 85-87 of 
mod_smacks.lua. In the previous version (feca77ad88ac)

local attr = stanza.attr;
if attr and not attr.xmlns then -- Stanza in default stream namespace   
    local cached_stanza = st.clone(stanza);

the code after 'then' is not executed if stanza.attr is nil. In the new version

local xmlns = stanza.attr and stanza.attr.xmlns;
if not xmlns then -- Stanza in default stream namespace
    local cached_stanza = st.clone(stanza);

the code is executed if stanza.attr is nil and this causes error in st.clone 
function which does not deal with this properly.

This bug might uncover other possible bugs:
(i) The st.clone function from prosody is not able to clone arbitrary stanza 
without errors.
(ii) Where from does the stanza with nil attr appear?
