Pywikipedia [svn+ssh] (r8609, 2010/10/05, 16:21:42)
Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]

However, I retried the same tests under Python 2.6.5 and got the same 
results.

Try the following and see if your result is different than mine:

>>> import xmlreader
>>> dump = xmlreader.XmlDump("kwwiki-20100926-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2")
>>> parser = dump.parse()
Reading XML dump...
>>> print parser
<generator object new_parse at 0x0132A968>

If you get <generator object regex_parse ...> instead of new_parse, then you 
don't have elementtree available, although since it is supposed to be 
standard since Python 2.5 that would be somewhat surprising.
