sxe_get_element_by_offset scans with nodendx <= offset, which is already false on the first
iteration for a negative offset, so it returns the node it was given.
$xml->item[-1]
therefore reports isset() true and reads the first item. Assigning to it overwrites
$xml->item[0]. Negative offsets now miss, and writing to one warns like an
out-of-range positive offset instead of creating an element.
