When I evaluate your XPath expression against the sample XML you posted 
then it returns an empty node-set. Tested with the XPath tool in jEdit's 
XML and XSLT/XPath plugin which is based on Xalan Java.

I don't see why it should find a node as the 'br' element has no 
following-sibling::* element at all.

Thus if libxml2 with that expression and XML input returns a non-empty 
node-set then I think it has a bug.
