ElementTree 1.3a xpath position broken?

hello,

I am after xpath support for an application running on Google App Engine, which unfortunately rules out lxml. 
According to this document (http://effbot.org/zone/element-xpath.htm) the development version of ElementTree 1.3a has additional support for xpath, which covers my use cases.


From my tests I found attributes and child nodes work:

>>> from elementtree import ElementTree
>>> tree = ElementTree.fromstring('<a><b></b><b><c class="test"></c></b></a>')
>>> print list(tree.findall('.//*[ <at> class="test"]'))
[<Element 'c' at b7caa0cc>]
>>> print list(tree.findall('.//b[c]'))
[<Element 'b' at b7caa08c>]


However tag positions appear to be broken:
>>> print list(tree.findall('.//b[1]')) # should return b element
[] 


Have I missed something? Suggestions?

regards,
Richard
