The code in musicxml2ly.py does, indeed, generate :m5 for minor.
Surprisingly, the NR, A.2 Common chord modifiers, reads:
Major Major third, perfect fifth 5 or nothing c1:5 notes: c g
Minor Minor third, perfect fifth m or m5 c1:m notes: c ees g
Despite the examples showing otherwise, this could easily be interpreted to
mean that c is the same as c:5, and that c1:m is the same as c:m. However,
the trailing '5' makes a power chord (no 3rd). In the case of minor the
distinction with the major chord is lost.
I really wonder if it is intentional behaviour for musicxml2ly to use m5
for minor.
Same goes for :5 (for major), :aug5, :dim5, :dim5m7, and :maj5m5.
