The reference is the same as making a nodelist pointer that points to root->get_children() and calling ->begin() on it. I don't see how that should invalidate anything. 

Now that is strange. I tried this micro code and no exception occured.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <libxml++/libxml++.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

 try {
    if (argc > 1) {
      xmlpp::DomParser parser(argv[1], false);
      xmlpp::Element* root = parser.get_document()->get_root_node();
      if (NULL != root) {
        const xmlpp::Node::NodeList& nlist = root->get_children();
        xmlpp::Node::NodeList::const_iterator itr = nlist.begin();
      }
      else {
        std::cout << "No root node!" << std::endl;
      }
    }
    else {
      std::cout << "Specify filename please" << std::endl;
    }
  }
  catch (const std::exception& e){
    std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
    return -1;
  }
  return 0;
}

And using sample xml as input parameter with this content

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE root>
<root>
  <child>
    <grandchildren>
    </grandchildren>
  </child>
</root>

I tested this with Borland Free Compiler 5.5.1 and with vc 2005 beta 1 
compilers.
libxml++  version 1.0.4

Compilers where using multithreaded dynamic RTL.

Could you please verify that this does or does not work in your case?
