I've been doing a project which requires custom site columns (who hasn't!?). These site columns where then added to document libraries. But the site columns didn't show in the Document Information Panel in Word 2010...
And it messed up all subsequent columns added after my custom columns (the columns added afterwards wasn't displayed either) They did show in the document properties in the SharePoint UI though...
The trouble seemed to be in the CAML for my site columns: I've forgotten that the StaticName-property doesn't allow spacings...
Correcting the spacings by either removing them (making the staticname-prop camel-cased) or replacing with _x0020_ did the trick! Now my custom columns show in the DIP! 
Strange that the column works except for in the DIP... If somebody has an explanation, please comment on this post
