Whoops! Spoke too soon. It's definitely the PCLOS lib64xml2_2 (v2.9.7-1) package that's causing the issue. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. Arch's latest libxml2-2.9.7 doesn't suffer from it.

I may give the standalone installer a try. Would it need upgrading at all though?
Yes. It doesn't use many system libraries, so anytime a new version of Sigil was released, you'd have to manually update it.

Another easier fix that I've verified will work is using the installer I created that only places a compatible version of libxml2 into your regular Sigil installation directory. I created it because there have been lot's of buggy versions of libxml2 that caused problems for Sigil (and other programs using webkit). There's a sticky thread on it too.

It should get you by until they update their libxml2 package.

This bug report looks relevant.
