Status Update 5: At this point I have tried everything I can think. I have found some interesting things but none of my discoveries have been conclusive and to make matters worse I have started getting some similar fails for my Travis-CI testing in linux. In the end I think I may need to persue a non XML::LibXML solution. I hate to roll a pure perl alternative but I'm not even beginning to excersize libxml2 to it's capabilites and I can't seem to get a clean test.
