This is due to a bug in XML::SAX::PurePerl 0.14. It's reported as CPAN
#19173. I'm attaching the patch from the CPAN report, which fixes the
problem for me. The problem is still present in upstream 0.15.

The libxml-filter-sort-perl test log also shows these warnings:

 Unable to recognise encoding of this document at /usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 96.

These are apparently harmless and are fixed in upstream 0.15. I'm
attaching a patch for this as well for the sake of completeness.

Lucas, thanks for your QA efforts. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
