An XQuery document node test with the node test tag in BaseX 8.2 throws when there are comments before the root element. What for?

In BaseX 8.2, I try to assign an XQuery variable, a node document whose root element has a specific name. The source XML is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--A comment-->
<myRootElement/>

To get the node document, I will print it using DocumentTest:

declare variable $docnode as document-node(element(myRootElement)) := doc("pathToSourceFile");

However, I get the following error message: XPTY0004: Cannot process document-node () as document-node (document-node () (myRootElement)) ...

This is rather unexpected because the assignment completed successfully if there are no comments before the root <myRootElement> element. This means that having a comment causes the request to fail.
