Okay, I see what's happening. The behaviour depends on whether libxml's
keepBlanks option is set. xml ed has it off by default, but xml sel and
xmllint have it on. You can get the other behaviour by passing the
appropriate options:

xml ed --pf (or -P) ...
xml sel --noblanks (or -B) ...
xmllint --noblanks ...
