In XML, white spaces in content are significant.
The option of disabling blanks nodes is a non-conforming extra option and
preserveWhiteSpace = false;
is I assume activating that option.
Libxml2 is very cautious and tend to ignore that option when it believes
this could lead to information loss.
This option can be exerced by using xmllint --noblanks and seems to work
as expected for me:
paphio:~/XML -> cat tst.xml
<Programmers>
<Programmer>
<firstName>Łukasz</firstName>
<lastName>Budnik</lastName>
</Programmer>
</Programmers>
paphio:~/XML -> xmllint --noblanks tst.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Programmers><Programmer><firstName>Łukasz</firstName><lastName>Budnik</lastName></Programmer></Programmers>
paphio:~/XML ->
I don't own a Windows Licence, I can't test the problem on Windows.
It works for me... Also one should be sure that PHP opens the file in
binary mode for reading as this has been a problem in the past.

Nothing I can do on my side, but I take patches from people who run and own
a Windows development environment.
