xmlParseChunk is somehow a hack, as it not full proper XML parsing.

XInclude itself is not integrated in the parse phase, it's always a
post processing option, for example "xmllint --xinclude" just calls
xmlXIncludeProcessFlags() on the resulting document.

You will have to use xmlXIncludeProcessTreeFlags() on all the top
element node that xmlParseChunk may return to you.
