Is this problem reproducible in your environment?

Thanks for your helpful advice.

I have tested the following versions of PHP:

php74, php80, php82

The problem was reproduced in all of the above versions.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with PHP itself.

I also tested it on an older MacOS below:
It works correctly. It uses an older version of libxml2.

MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
php56 @5.6.40_7 (lang, www)
libxml2 @2.12.7 (textproc)      <=== 2.12.7
libiconv @1.17 (textproc)

Below is the environment in which the problem occurs:

[does not work correctly]
MacOS Sonoma 14.5
php83 @8.3.12_1 (lang, www)
libxml2 @2.13.4 (textproc)      <=== 2.13.4
libiconv @1.17 (textproc)

Is there a way to restore older versions of libxml2?
