Afaik it does, i agree with Lennart that a warning from libxml2 would be
welcome.

=> extracted from xmlCleanupParser() documentation
WARNING: if your application is multithreaded or has plugin support
calling this may crash the application if another thread or a plugin is
still using libxml2. It's sometimes very hard to guess if libxml2 is in
use in the application, some libraries or plugins may use it without
notice. In case of doubt abstain from calling this function or do it
just before calling exit() to avoid leak reports from valgrind
