I suspect they packaged a buggy version of libxml2:
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8641
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554124

You can try to remove all the > and < 
from /usr/share/gcompris/boards/*.xml and start GCompris

Something like this would do it:
sudo sed -i "s/>//g" /usr/share/gcompris/boards/*.xml
sudo sed -i "s/<//g" /usr/share/gcompris/boards/*.xml
