Hey Pito,

Unfortunately, I'd had an old copy of libxml installed outside of
rubygems which was conflicting and overriding my more recent rubygems
versions, so I was only testing against the old 0.8.3 version.

Once I corrected that, I was able to reproduce your problem, and I've
since fixed it on my development branch (http://github.c...
roxml/). You can get it there, or wait a bit for the official 2.5 to
go up on rubyforge.

Thanks for the post!
