I can't reproduce this:
paphio:~/XML -> xmllint --valid test/VC/ElementValid4
test/VC/ElementValid4:7: element doc: validity error : Element c is not
declared in doc list of possible children
<doc> This <b>seems</b> Ok <a/> but this <c>was not declared</c></doc>
^
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA | a | b)*>
<!ELEMENT a EMPTY>
<!ELEMENT b (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT c (#PCDATA)>
]>
<doc> This <b>seems</b> Ok <a/> but this <c>was not declared</c></doc>
paphio:~/XML -> xmllint --valid --nowarning test/VC/ElementValid4
test/VC/ElementValid4:7: element doc: validity error : Element c is not
declared in doc list of possible children
<doc> This <b>seems</b> Ok <a/> but this <c>was not declared</c></doc>
^
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA | a | b)*>

<!ELEMENT b (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT c (#PCDATA)>

<doc> This <b>seems</b> Ok <a/> but this <c>was not declared</c></doc>
paphio:~/XML ->
Can you reproduce this with a small test ?
