  I'm very sorry, but I do not have the time to fix the PHP code.
Your documents from your example did NOT have any DOCTYPE. The doc
xmlDocPtr passed to the serialization routine had an xmlDtdNode.
That xmlDtdNode will NOT be generated by libxml2 (any version) when
passing the sample examples your provided within your PHP. Moreover
that xmlDtdNode is buggy because one of the pointers is 0x3 which
leads to the crash. I don't have the time to find in the PHP code
  - what code generated that xmlDtdNode.
  - why it has buggy pointers
  - why it's passed to the serialization routine while
    obviously the document asked for serialization should NOT
    have an xmlDtdNode

 Again I can't debug this. This sounds completely broken to stay polite.
The fact that the bug doesn't show up with other versions is simply that
earlier version don't have the XHTML1 detection code looking for the 
DTD System ID in order to adjust the serializations accordingly.
