I've traced the problem a bit. This is a fault of libxml2 (catalog
processing is its work). You can see a problem report at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383687  The report also
contains test harness to check is you affected. :)

Would hope Daniel (or someone from libxml2 team) will fix that quickly.
