This is a bug in HTML::TreeBuilder, we carry a patch for this in Fedora. 
Upstream bug with patch at 
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49932

There is a patch for XML::TreeBuilder that is also required, again 
carried in Fedora and opened upstream with patch at 
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=50060 Make sure you grab 
the later patch since the original had a bug :(

We are currently using the fedora BZ as our development issue tracker, 
there is an on again, off again, discussion about changing that ... but 
trac really does suck and it's all Fedora hosted offers ATM :(

Cheers, Jeff.
