Ok, thank you. Here's the results:

>>> print(et.LXML_VERSION, et.LIBXML_VERSION,
...       et.LIBXML_COMPILED_VERSION, et.LIBXSLT_VERSION,
...       et.LIBXSLT_COMPILED_VERSION)
(2, 2, 4, 0) (2, 6, 26) (2, 6, 26) (1, 1, 17) (1, 1, 17)

Thank you. Two things, however. First, I snipped out most of the XML
document in that post, so it won't be runnable as is. As I think I
said, my attempts to edit it down to size made the bug hide
itself. Second, it's very sensitive to any changes in that XML.

Oh, and a third thing. I'm not at all sure yet that the bug is in
lxml. It seems to me that Python itself does impossible things - I
hope I'm just being blind to something obvious, really.

But if you like to try it out, I'll post the full test data as a
followup to this. It's just bogus test data.
