I haven't reviewed all of this, but I'm wondering why in your patch
[[
   def parse_path(self):
- path = self.parse_line('Node-path: (.+)$', required=False)
- if not path and self.lines[self.current] == 'Node-path: \n':
- self.current += 1
- path = ''
+ path = self.parse_line('Node-path: (.*)$', required=False)
]]

This replaces '.+' with '.*'

I was wondering why this was necessary?
(To catch more error? Or does this skip some errors?)

Nice catches in the other mails on this subject!

Thanks,
