Replace child, then query for uncle fails

Question

Hello,
I am using DbXml 2.4.13 through the C++ interface on Ubuntu 8.04.
Ran across the following scenario that I cannot get to work:
1. create a transactional node container
2. place the following document inside the container:
<config>
     <a>
          <x/>
          <y/>
     </a>
     <b/>
</config>3. using a 'replace node' query, replace node 'config/a/x' with an empty node named 'x' (in effect, this is a no-change)
4. query for the node 'config/b' => does not exist
Remarks:
1. You can make a small modification to the document in order to make the scenario succeed, which is to omit 'config/a/y' when putting the document. I.e., like the following:
<config>
     <a>
          <x/>
     </a>
     <b/>
</config>2. Could not reproduce the problem using only the dbxml shell.
So in the general case, the 'replace node' queries I wrote work. In this specific situation, when replacing a child that has a brother, a subsequent query for the uncle fails.
Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Haelix

Try the patch in this thread:
Inconsistent behavior on insert node after
Also, the forum software uses square brackets for pre and /pre, not angle.
