Yes, the problem was the headers.

In my app I had "<gnome-xml/parse.h>" so it would not pick up
the new headers. Changing it to "<libxml/parse.h>" fixed it.

How about installing (at least for some time) 
some headers inside "$prefix/include/libxml/gnome-xml" with one
line :
"#warning you shuold replace your inlcude line that has the gnome-xml
reference to libxml"
 
this will solve the problem in the best way. I am sure this will
happen hundreds of times in the future :-).
