It looks like this has been fixed in version libxml2 version 2.9.7, which is the current version of the FreeBSD port. This link on the page referenced above: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=5dca9eea1bd4263bfa4d037ab2443de1cd730f7e appears to be the bug fix and it is present in the 2.9.7 source.
