This is not a strange behaviour. <mx:Model />, <mx:XML /> etc are compiler tags, which means content inside them (or linked) would be compiled in the SWF. It is well documented and it has been the same in Flex 1.5 as well.
You use @Embed (..), <mx:XML />, <mx:Model /> when you want to compile the assets with-in the final SWFs.
As Harish said, if you want to load content/assets on runtime, you should consider other available APIs/tags, f.ex. <mx:HTTPService />, <mx:Image /> without @Embed in source attribute, <mx:Loader /> etc
Does that make sense?

Hi Harish,
Is there a reason for this strange behaviour? Normally I have to add @embed
explicitely... Also what is the limitation on the size of the xml embeded in
the swf?
