  yes, that kind of problems. Due to the model of Relax-NG in a choice
you may have different variant of <p> syntax, the fact that an attribute
doesn't validate doesn't mean the element content won't validate. So
libxml2 stores potential error messages but how long it stores them
or discard them is imperfect and it may not be the most significant error
which gets raised.
