yup, that seems to fix it. Another difference that may catch the unwary is 
that the useCases testbench uses the HTTP_*_VARS, so won't work if 
register_long_arrays in php.ini is off. However, I doubt it's worth your 
changing that.

I've always found that the slowness of evaluate/match is phpxpath's biggest 
problem. You don't notice if you're only accessing one or two nodes, but I 
have 1 file where each node has a unique id attribute which is the xpath key. 
phpxpath doesn't like this at all. It's quite a large file, and updating a 
large no of nodes can literally take several minutes!
