Just a stab in the dark: does it make a difference if instead of 
_utf8_on() you use one of the more "official" Encode functions? 
_utf8_on() is documented, but it is also flagged as "internal" so maybe 
one of the other functions does something different that's needed?

Unrelated question: do you need to use XML::DOM? Last time I checked it 
was only DOM Level 1 compatible, and that's almost deprecated. Would a 
pure Perl W3C DOM L2 implementation interest anyone? I have one which I 
never released because I thought I'd be the only one to use it, but if 
there's interest I can put it on CPAN.
