Hi, I just managed to reproduce your problem and it looks like selectNodes() ignores the parent element if you use the double slashes and just interprets them in the standard XPath way, i.e. by searching the entire document. I'll have to take a closer look at the xml.Element class, but it sure looks like a bug to me.
As a workaround, changing your second XPath expression to "descendant::MenuTab" should work.
