It is relevant for me to understand your question.  There is something
fishy, but it does not fix your problem.  It still looks like a syntax
error in your test, sorry.

I tried this:

 in the schema:
  <element name="test3">
   <complexType>
    <sequence>
       <element name="e3" type="int" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="12"
           nillable="true" />
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </element>

 in Perl:
   { e3 => [ 'NIL', 42, 'NIL', 43, 'NIL' ]}

 in XML:
 <test3 xmlns:xsi="$xsi">
   <e3 xsi:nil="true"/>
   <e3>42</e3>
   <e3 xsi:nil="true"/>
   <e3>43</e3>
   <e3 xsi:nil="true"/>
 </test3>

The writer produced the wrong output.  This will be fixed in 0.97, to
be released later today.  But it is not the error you get.
