I just checked and this is not fixed in 5.5.0alpha4 either! Do I really have
to go back to 5.3?

When is this going to be fixed. I have reproduced it in 5.4.11 and it is kind
of a major bug that has caused me a significant amount of wasted debug time.

Description:
------------
In PHP 5.4 xpath() returns SimpleXMLObjects which casted to array give empty
arrays. If tags have text values they aren't present in object like in PHP 5.3.
Test script:
---------------
$xml = simplexml_load_string('
<person>
<profile>
<name>PHP developer</name>
</profile>
</person>');
// get all names
$xml = $xml->xpath('/person/profile/name');
// get first result
$xml = reset($xml);
// show result
print_r($xml);
Expected result:
----------------
In PHP 5.3 the (expected) result is
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => PHP developer )
Casting this to an array will result: array(0 => 'PHP developer') which is ok.
Actual result:
--------------
In PHP 5.4 the result is
SimpleXMLElement Object ( )
If we cast this to an array will result an empty array, but we expected text
values.
