There is a similar problem with text. If you have a text reference such as returned by find, and modify preceding text, it will point to somewhere else. This is because the script objects used for text and xml are actually only temporary "proxy" objects.

One approach is yours - remember the xml item by some immutable criteria and recover it when needed.

Another approach would be similar to one used in text: find patterns which operations touch which (e.g. preceding) xml items, and work in the reverse order. I haven't yet seen investigations in this area, and the tree nature of XML might make it more complicated.
