I resolved this problem by moving the path: /usr/bin ahead of /opt/local/bin in my PATH variable.
Don't yet know what's wrong with the libxml2 library installed with macports in /opt
It might be a version mismatch, i.e the xmllint installed by MacPorts is newer than your libxml2 library — my xmllint (from MacPorts) work, but MacPorts has no version info in its dependency tracking, so you can easily get incompatible versions of things.
