I'm trying to merge and filter some xml.  This is working well, but I'm
getting one node that's not in my list to include.

This may be similar to a recent post with similar issues.

for rec in xmlet:
     if rec.find('part').find('pid').text not in il:
         xmlet.remove(rec)

You're removing records from the thing you are iterating over.
That's never a good idea, and often causes the next record to
be stepped over without being processed.

Try taking a copy before iterating and then modify the original.

for rec in xmlet[:]:    # slice creates a copy
    if rec....
       xmlet.remove(rec)
