It is very likely there is an old version of libxml2.dll on the path.

Open a command shell and enter "where libxml2.dll" for example Graphviz ships 
with an old version of libxml2.dll:

C:\Program Files\ConEmu>where libxml2.dll
c:\Programs\Graphviz\bin\libxml2.dll

C:\Program Files\ConEmu>

I installed an lxml 3.3.4 binary from PyPI in the mean time (which solved the 
problem), but I can confirm I have a Graphvix libxml2.dll in my path:

where libxml2.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.32\bin\libxml2.dll
C:\Python27\DLLs\libxml2.dll

Yes - this is fixed in latest lxml xy package (3.3.5).

The DLL names were renamed to avoid collision with other non xy installs.

2.7.6.1 stuff.
