Do you have a sample XHTML document that reproduces the problem. I've tried
writing a test case using the example you gave but it works fine for me. Its
included below...
The exception you're getting does look like an old version of Jaxen. Could
it be? I've tested this against the daily build and 1.0 of dom4j and it
appears to work fine.

String text = "<ul>"

+ " <li/>"

+ " </ul>"
+ " <li/>"
+ " </ul>"
+ "</ul>";
Document document = DocumentHelper.parseText( text );
List lists = document.selectNodes( "//ul | //ol" );
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < lists.size(); i++) {
Element list = (Element)lists.get(i);
List nodes = list.selectNodes("ancestor::ul");
if ((nodes != null) && (nodes.size() > 0)) {
continue;
}
nodes = list.selectNodes("ancestor::ol");
if ((nodes != null) && (nodes.size() > 0)) {
continue;
}
}
}
