Regarding your e-mail message, please let's continue this discussion
publicly. It's established that this bug can happen with any (HTML)
input, so there's no point exposing my own. Check out
http://www.google.com/search?q=libxml+%2Bbrackets for tons of example
code.
But most importantly, is it possible that all this time no one ever
posted a bug about it in libxml's own tracker? If so, I think I'll post
something there soon.

Again, I use libxml v2.7.7 (with PHP v5.2.14).

To hopefully close this once and for all:
Compile PHP (5.2.9 or higher) against the newer libxml (2.7.3 or
higher).
PHP code change:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_2/ext/xml/compat.c?
r1=272374&r2=273286
Libxml code change:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libxml2/trunk/parser.c?r1=3803&r2=3807

It still happens to me even in libxml v2.7.7.
Please take it seriously. At least mention in what scenarios does it
happen and does it have a link in libxml's own bug tracker.

I am seeing this error in 2.7.3 as well, so the fix does not seem to be
working.

Just FYI - I have been seeing what would appear to be this issue with
libxml2 2.7.6 (with Moodle), so it seems that "2.7.3 or higher" doesn't
cut it. Reverting to 2.6.32 solved the problem for me.
