This does appear to be a browser/player specific issue, since it works
for me under other circumstances.
For anyone following, the goal was to delete the children on a node by
using setChildren() to assign an empty XMLList.
All these work for me under IE:
xmlNode.setChildren(<></>); //WORKS
xmlNode.setChildren(new XMLList()); //WORKS
xmlNode.setChildren(xmlNode.EXPR_THAT_RETURNS_NO_NODES); //WORKS

XML.setChildren for XML in a XMLListCollection
I think the OP was attempting to delete all of the childern of a node by
assigning an empty XMLList. While this seems reasonable, I do not
believe it will work, at least, I was unable to do it this way.

The reason it is failing is because of the following line:
data.setChildren( new XMLList() );
You are passing the setChildren method a memory location of an empty
list.
This should give an error rather than crashing the browser.
