This was apparently broken by libxml-dom-perl 1.44-2, which added 
debian/patches/output_encoding.patch . Now that the patch was
integrated upstream in XML-DOM-1.45, it's probably failing upstream
too. 

Not sure if XML::EasyObj is doing something nasty or if
printing out XML::DOM::Element objects is broken for everybody...
