'bout the same here:
$ port installed libxml2
The following ports are currently installed: libxml2 @2.7.8_0+universal (active)

I got a theory. We do distinguish between libxml2 versions for which
the structured and the generic error context handler share the error
context (older ones), and those with don't (newer ones). Our configure
scripts checks for the availability of xmlStructuredErrorContext, and
defined HAVE_XMLSTRUCTUREDERRORCONTEXT if it is. Now, if for some reason
that test fails on your machine, even though libxml *does* provide
xmlStructuredErrorContext, then the safety-check in the error handler
would check whether xmlGenericErrorContext is set as expected, when
it really should check xmlStructuredErrorContext.
Could you check if configure defines that macro? You should find
it in the pg_config.h generated by configure.

configure \--prefix=/Users/fgp/Installs/pg.master.max.noassert.O1 \--with-includes=/opt/local/include
\--with-libraries=/opt/local/lib\--enable-debug \--enable-depend \--enable-thread-safety \--with-pgport=54320

\--without-bonjour\--without-openssl \--without-ossp-uuid \--with-libxml \--with-libxslt CFLAGS="-pipe -O1 -g"
I also checked with otool -L that it really uses the libxml from /opt.
$ otool -L .//src/test/regress/tmp_check/install/Users/fgp/Installs/pg.master.max.noassert.O1/bin/postgres
.//src/test/regress/tmp_check/install/Users/fgp/Installs/pg.master.max.noassert.O1/bin/postgres:/opt/local/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
(compatibilityversion 10.0.0, current version 10.8.0)/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version125.2.11)
Despite the file name, that should be libxml 2.7.8. Here's the output of
xml2-config
$ /opt/local/bin/xml2-config --version
2.7.8
And there's no other libxml2 in /opt.
