Well, this isn't exactly a permanent fix. But until there is an actual native plugin for NF in XBMC, I have found a workaround; though it requires a fairly robust machine.
I installed PlayOn Media server (great product for what it does) and it's free here --> http://www.playon.tv/
After you install, go into settings and goto the "Channels" tab. In there, put in your NetFlix account a PW and test (verify all is good).
Now in XBMC, add the UPNP Device \Your Computer Name\PlayOn to your list...
Create the shortcuts as you need and you can go right into browsing NF without the external browser. PlayOn handles the Trans coding for you.
Again, your machine running the server needs to be pretty good to avoid lag... Also, good Bandwidth doesn't hurt.
Hope it helps!
