  First W3C XML Schemas implementation is known to be incomplete
so it comes with no garantees at all (except the garantee that it's
broken for the Structure part !).
  Second I have no idea why serializing and reparsing would change
the way the regular expression check for the content model work.
I think there is something else going on. I see no other way than
you debugging the code, deconstructing your sequence of modification
to the document until you find out why or where this fails starting
from the point which works. That's just debugging skills, start from
a document which validate and modify it and reintroduce your modification
code until you find out where this breaks ... Again it's just debugging
of your code, maybe there is an underlying error in the library, that
will allow to pinpoint it too ...
