Forgot to edit steps to reproduce and sent incomplete version (facepalm).

And again I tried to change the title, and comment got sent incomplete. Please laugh at me. Sorry.
Correction below.

Thank you for the report. If you save a new copy of a problematic file with libreoffice-7.5.3.2 and libxml2-2.10.4, then try to open it after upgrade to >=libxml2-2.11.2, can you reproduce that error? All info I could find yet were cases of broken files being the cause of such errors.

I just tried it, and yes, it is reproducible. I resaved file with LO-7.5.3.2 and libxml2-2.10.4. And then tried to open it when libxml2-2.11.3 was installed. Almost the same error outputs.

I have plenty of work files (all docx, all contain 3 or more pages) that cause this error. Different fonts, different dates of creation or last save (some - month ago, some - about a year ago). Can't find the pattern / conditions what leads to this issue. Tried to rebuild LibreOffice with new libxml2. No luck, same error.

If so, can you make a dummy file and share it? Also include the exact steps to re-create the file, and then we can compare it. > Does a new file cause the error?

New files don't have this error somehow.
If I open the 'problematic' file with LO-7.3.5.2 (with libxml2 v. 2.10.4 installed), add one space somewhere and then save it as a new file, then I can open the new file with LibreOffice even when libxml2-2.11.3 is installed.
Tried to downgrade LibreOffice to version 7.4.6.2 - and got the same error. So far only downgrading libxml2 solves this error for me.
Things are weird.
I have similar issue: after updating to 'dev-libs/libxml2-2.11.3' I cannot open some odt files (others mention docx not working) containing non-Latin characters, but still can open ods (spreadsheet) files.
