Which version of libxml2 do you have installed?

Yeah.  It's annoying as heck, because they deprecated that without
providing an adequate replacement.  The replacement is claimed to
be "Use the modern options API with XML_PARSE_NOBLANKS", but there
is no direct equivalent to xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory that takes
an options argument.

So to get rid of this, we're looking at a probably-nontrivial
rewrite of xml_parse(), with possibly some user-visible behavioral
changes, and who-knows-what effects for compatibility across
different libxml2 versions.

If you feel like researching that, have at it.

Hmm ... I think I was confused by the fact that it takes "const char
*data" not "const xmlChar *string".  On further research, those are
more equivalent than I'd thought.  So maybe it'll work.

I think we can probably use xmlParseInNodeContext(), which does take an 
options argument. Did you look at that?

The standard on Rocky 10:

postgres@rocky10-pgbox:/home/postgres/ [pg20] rpm -qa | grep libxml2
libxml2-2.12.5-10.el10_2.2.x86_64
libxml2-devel-2.12.5-10.el10_2.2.x86_64
