  within xmlreader.c code. The XML_PARSE_DTDVALID option should have 
forced a validation flag in the ctxt but didn't. The difference isn't
between those 2 calls but somewhere else in the initializations done by
xmllint when using --valid. This is fixed in CVS, in the meantime add
  xmlTextReaderSetParserProp(reader, XML_PARSER_VALIDATE, 1);
to force the setup of the flag in the reader.

   thanks for the report,

Daniel
