Since the html5lib tree builder constantly rearranges the tree as it builds it, bugs like this are annoyingly common.

Minimal case that makes it obvious there's a problem:
---
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
data = """
<html>
<h2>
foo</h2>
<p></p>
</html>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html5lib')
print soup.h2.
print soup.p
---
The newline and the text within the <h2> tag are both essential to reproducing the problem.
