Hmm. I only registered the catalogs and fixed the broken paths between
0.8.8-1 and -2. There was no change regarding the processing of XML
sources. BTW: 0.8.8-1 failed to work. How did it work for you? It had
broken paths in it's binaries, that couldn't be resolved (see #418703).
I guess, the problem was introduced between 0.8.3 and 0.8.8. Could you
please be so kind to check this?

Confirmed. I will check, where this comes from.
