This should have been very difficult to track down. ox-freemind.el does invoke `libxml-parse-xml-region'. I think Emacs should raise a runtime error (and not return nil) if the above API is called but libxml is unavailable. ps: This bug is a good excuse to audit "other" such wrapper calls (if there are any) and make sure that they don't fall silently.
