I just tried this with the latest version of NekoHTML (the parser used 
inside HtmlUnit) and it appears to be doing the right thing.  The output 
I get is:

org.apache.html.dom.HTMLDocumentImpl
  org.apache.html.dom.HTMLHtmlElementImpl
   org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
   org.apache.html.dom.HTMLHeadElementImpl
    org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
    org.apache.html.dom.HTMLTitleElementImpl
     org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
    org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
    org.apache.html.dom.HTMLMetaElementImpl
    org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
   org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
   org.apache.html.dom.HTMLBodyElementImpl
    org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
    org.apache.html.dom.HTMLParagraphElementImpl
     org.apache.html.dom.HTMLAnchorElementImpl
      org.apache.html.dom.HTMLFontElementImpl
       org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
     org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
    org.apache.html.dom.HTMLParagraphElementImpl
     org.apache.html.dom.HTMLFontElementImpl
      org.apache.html.dom.HTMLAnchorElementImpl
       org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
     org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl

If you are using the HtmlUnit code from CVS then you will already have 
the latest version of NekoHTML.  If not, then you can download it from 
http://www.apache.org/~andyc/neko/doc/html/index.html

Let me know if this latest NekoHTML isn't fixing your problem.
