Ok, I think I made some progress on this problem. I guess overlooked the tf_prefix thing somehow. It looks like both
fake_localization and gazebo_ros_diffdrive are not setup to use tf_prefix for their broadcasted transforms (odom and
base_footprint respectively). So I did modify them to use tf_prefix and looking at tf topic I see that everything is as
expected and I also don't get the warning about non-fully-qualified frame_ids.

But then in rviz the robot_model can't be shown, since rviz tries to get transforms for frames that are taken from
robot_description parameter on param server and these are not prefixed. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks!
