cElementTree findtext seems to return None when it should return a string.

Fredrik, can you take a look?

Looks like the mechanisms used decide when to invoke the full
ElementPath machinery differs somewhat.  I've added this to the TODO
list for ET 1.3; in the meantime, my advice is "don't do that".

(adding a check for '.' to the PATHCHAR macro should fix this, I think.)

Forgot to mention that this is fixed in the cElementTree trunk (public
as of today's 1.0.6 preview release).  Will merge with Python trunk when
I find the time...

Should be fixed with the next upstream merge. See #6472
