test failure in t/30_tree.t

When testing HTML-TableExtract-2.15 with the following dependencies installed:

perl-5.24.1
p5-HTML-Parser-3.72
p5-HTML-Tree-5.06
p5-HTML-Element-Extended-1.18

I see the following test failure:

Going a little investigating, this is caused by commit badb303 .
Reverting that commit makes the test suite pass but I'm not sure of the impact of doing so.
