Hmm, there was a bug in libxml2 versions before 2.6.24 that made this test
crash, but lxml now works around it. So I have no idea where this might come
from. It works for me with exactly the same versions (and even any version I
tested). This is on Solaris, right? Any chance you might be running into a
similar problem as we saw on Mac-OS, where multiple installed libraries were
interfering?

It's impossible for me to investigate this. You can switch off that test for
your work by prepending the method name with an underscore, for example. We
can look into this later on. 1.3 is more important now.
