Description:
Load xml infile reads only first of  inline <tag .../> series data.

How to repeat:
-- xml file: --------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<home>
  <tag1 attr1="1"/>
  <tag2 attr2="2"/>
</home>
-- xml file: --------------------

-- sql cmds: --------------------
create table if not exists home_tag1 (attr1 smallint);
create table if not exists home_tag2 (attr2 smallint);

load xml local infile 'home.xml'
into table home_tag1
rows identified by '<tag1>';

load xml local infile 'home.xml'
into table home_tag2
rows identified by '<tag2>';
-- sql cmds: --------------------

-- results: ---------------------
mysql> create table if not exists home_tag1 (attr1 smallint);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create table if not exists home_tag2 (attr2 smallint);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> 
mysql> 
mysql> load xml local infile 'home.xml'
    -> into table home_tag1
    -> rows identified by '<tag1>';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> 
mysql> 
mysql> load xml local infile 'home.xml'
    -> into table home_tag2
    -> rows identified by '<tag2>';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 0  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0
-- results: ---------------------

Suggested fix:
Current workaround is altering the xml source data to comment or remove <tag1 ../> after reading it.  Only after the first tag is removed can the second be read. 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<home>
  <!--tag1 attr1="1"/-->
  <tag2 attr2="2"/>
</home>

-- results ---
mysql> load xml local infile 'home.xml'
    -> into table home_tag2
    -> rows identified by '<tag2>';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0
