I checked both the current 5.3 and 5.4 source for the xpath simplexml function and they are the
same. So, this means that the error is somewhere else. Could this be because of the change in how
5.4 deals with arrays?

I just checked and this is not fixed in 5.5.0alpha4 either! Do I really have to go back to 5.3?

When is this going to be fixed. I have reproduced it in 5.4.11 and it is kind of a major bug that
has caused me a significant amount of wasted debug time.

Description:
------------
In PHP 5.4 xpath() returns SimpleXMLObjects which casted to array give empty arrays. If tags have
text values they aren't present in object like in PHP 5.3.
Test script:
---------------
$xml = simplexml_load_string('
<person>
<profile>
<name>PHP developer</name>
</profile>
</person>');
// get all names
$xml = $xml->xpath('/person/profile/name');
// get first result
$xml = reset($xml);
// show result
print_r($xml);
Expected result:
----------------
In PHP 5.3 the (expected) result is
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => PHP developer )
Casting this to an array will result: array(0 => 'PHP developer') which is ok.
Actual result:
--------------
In PHP 5.4 the result is
SimpleXMLElement Object ( )
If we cast this to an array will result an empty array, but we expected text values.
