:/2 can only call exported predicates, so that's consistent.

Use either call(...)@m or export the predicate:

?- create_module(m).
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- assert(foo(99)) @ m.
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- call(foo(X)) @ m.
X = 99
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- m : foo(X).
calling an undefined procedure m : foo(X) in module eclipse
Abort

?- (export foo / 1) @ m.
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- m : foo(X).
X = 99
Yes (0.00s cpu)
