Personally, I think this is a bug - on two levels:

1)  Since the <wrap> tag has no text contents, it stops revXMLNodeContents
from going any deeper than "This is ". (If you did <wrap>certainly <child>
... and ran it, you'd get "This is certainly a test".)

2) To my understanding, revXMLNodeContents shouldn't go to any children of
the node you identify - it should always return "This is ".

Personally, I'd log it is a bug in Bugzilla...
