 Sorry, I don't know anything about the real problem, just a quick note
about the peripheral question:

 Yes, exactly, this was done on purpose as it is indeed both the common
practice and seems to be the implied W3C recommendation (I didn't find any
explicit wording to this subject but this is how the example in HTML
standard shows it). I didn't think this could create any problems, sorry if
it did. But, just in case, maybe you should have a look at docs/changes.txt
as this is just one of many things mentioned there. I don't know of
anything else that might affect LMI but maybe something else there rings
some bells for you.
