This is expected behaviour of SimpleXML (and it has nothing to do with
the engine).
No bug here.

Description:
------------
casting empty simplexml objects to boolean, empty objects get
transformed to false.
Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump( $foo = simplexml_load_string( "<foo />" ) );
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (0) {
}
var_dump( (bool)simplexml_load_string( "<foo />" ) );
bool(false)
var_dump( (bool)simplexml_load_string( "<foo>foo</foo>" ) );
bool(true)
Expected result:
----------------
both boolean-casts should be true.
