Symptoms

Running the following query returns different results in 11.2.0.3 and 12.2.0.1.0:

select xtab1.linked_xml
from xmltable('//LinkCreate|//LinksCreate'
passing XMLType('<IPCreate>
<LinkCreate
AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.113" URN="15201">
<ProcURN>1234</ProcURN>
</LinkCreate>
<LinkCreate
AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.133" URN="15202">
<ProcURN>1235</ProcURN>
</LinkCreate>
</IPCreate>')
columns linked_xml xmltype path '//LinkCreate|//LinksCreate')
xtab1;

+In 11.2.0.3 the results are correct:
LINKED_XML
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
<LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.113"
URN="15201"><ProcURN>1234</
ProcURN></LinkCreate>

<LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.133"
URN="15202"><ProcURN>1235</
ProcURN></LinkCreate>

In 12c:
LINKED_XML
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
<LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.113"
URN="15201"><ProcURN>1234</
ProcURN></LinkCreate><LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.133"
URN="1
5202"><ProcURN>1235</ProcURN></LinkCreate>

<LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.113"
URN="15201"><ProcURN>1234</
ProcURN></LinkCreate><LinkCreate AfterTimestamp="2018-01-25T10:42:20.133"
URN="1
5202"><ProcURN>1235</ProcURN></LinkCreate>

Both environments return 2 rows, however 11g returns one node per row
returned, which is correct, while 12c returns both nodes in each row
returned.
