Why you develop new features, when the old ones are unusable?

Is there something happening with this issue? It is now in stable debian and others :/

The following workaround seems to fix both dumping and type casting:
<?php
class SimpleXMLElement_CloneFix extends SimpleXMLElement
{
public function xpath($path)
{
$result = parent::xpath($path) ?: array();
foreach ($result as $node) {
$this->_fixNode($node);
}
return $result;
}
protected function _fixNode(SimpleXMLElement $node)
{
if (!$node && (string)$node) {
$dom = dom_import_simplexml($node);
$dom->parentNode->replaceChild(clone $dom, $dom);
}
}
}
Unfortunately, the same approach does not work for children() method, because of mysterious nature
of its returned value.
Despite returned object manifests itself as an instance of SimpleXMLElement, it does not behave as
such.
For instance, it is incompatible with dom_import_simplexml().
So, what kind of SimpleXMLElement is that?
