As a summary, this uses a {{{py:match}}} to find all elements with an attribute named {{{type}}}, selects the whole found node, and runs it through a filter to print each event in the selected stream to stdout.  When I run it, I get the following output:

{{{
('START', (QName('first'), Attrs([(QName('type'), u'one')])), (None, 7, 8))
('TEXT', u'fish', (None, 7, 26))
('END', QName('first'), (None, 7, 30))
('START', (QName('second'), Attrs([(QName('type'), u'two')])), (None, 8, 8))
('TEXT', u'fish', (None, 8, 27))
('END', QName('first'), (None, 7, 30))
('START', (QName('third'), Attrs([(QName('type'), u'red')])), (None, 9, 8))
('TEXT', u'fish', (None, 9, 26))
('END', QName('first'), (None, 7, 30))
('START', (QName('fourth'), Attrs([(QName('type'), u'blue')])), (None, 10, 8))
('TEXT', u'fish', (None, 10, 28))
('END', QName('first'), (None, 7, 30))
<rhyme>
    <lines>
        <first type=""one"">fish</first>
        <second type=""two"">fish</first>
        <third type=""red"">fish</first>
        <fourth type=""blue"">fish</first>
    </lines>
</rhyme>
}}}

You'll see that the output keeps the ending tag of the first child element of {{{<lines>}}} for the following three lines.  If you remove the child content of each element, the generated markup is correct, but the printed events still show incorrect END events.

This is not caused by the filtering; if you remove the filter and keep the child content, the same invalid markup is generated.  The same behavior occurs no matter how the stream is rendered (html, xhtml, whatever).

Also, the same behavior occurs when the expression is changed to the equivalent {{{""//*""}}}."	defect	closed	major	0.6.1	Expression evaluation	0.6	fixed
