It's not clear whether this is a bug. There is no requirement in the
DOM spec, or elsewhere, that the DOCTYPE must be roundtrip - yet it is
an obvious user requirement.
So this could be a bug, but fixing it is very difficult - in
particular since the lower-level parsers fail to provide the
information.
If you really need this, I encourage you to investigate and contribute
a fix.
