Nevermind, it's this commit:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/commit/bfec41b3de1cbd35e547b57c80ae3a5101f8891c

It seems that XML::LibXML implements its own workaround for 
xmlTextReaderNextSibling only being supported on preparsed documents:

https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-LibXML/blob/master/LibXML.xs#L8667

The function now claims to work without preparsed documents, so the workaround 
isn't used. But apparently there's problem with the commit. I'm CC'ing the 
author. If we can't get this fixed, let's revert.
