Comment:

 pathx.c already describes the problem and how to workaround it:

 {{{
  * The grammar is ambiguous here: the expression '42' can either be the
  * number 42 (a PrimaryExpr) or the RelativeLocationPath 'child::42'. The
  * reason for this ambiguity is that we allow node names like '42' in the
  * tree; rather than forbid them, we resolve the ambiguity by always
  * parsing '42' as a number, and requiring that the user write the
  * RelativeLocationPath in a different form, e.g. 'child::42' or './42'.
 }}}
