This old thread provides multiple solutions to convert XFA form to Acroform but the field name discrepancy seems to be an issue.

Quoting one of the responses "XFA PDFs contain an AcroForm dictionary at the Cos level, but they are not accessible in the same way as AcroForm fields are" - this could be the reason why.
