This is likely to get fixed by the patch in bug 119399

Boris: That's what I thought and hoped :) but unfortunately the fix, in bug
119399, does not fix this problem. I did find a bug in expat, and have a fix in
hand.

Buffer position should be updated such that it points after </foo>.

Just test some open/close combos as well to make sure we don't regress because
of this, and if you haven't tested XHTML run through those testcase as well.
