    The original code should work fine as well (you've found a bug :)). Since the return value isn't being used for anything, that callback (among others) should be called in void context. The patch is easy, modify Expat.xs, and replace all instances of
    G_DISCARD);
    with
    G_DISCARD|G_VOID);
    I've tested this, and it doesn't seem break anything.

    I've also filed a bug report.
