Assume that the "Auto start" playlist option is disabled and
"Display playlist tree" is enabled. Consider a playlist with
at least two branches. Something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" version="1">
  <trackList>
    <track>
      <location>file:///.../file1.xspf</location>
      <title>file1</title>
    </track>
    <track>
      <location>file:///.../file2.xspf</location>
      <title>file2</title>
    </track>
  </trackList>
</playlist>

Open the playlist. For file1, select its last item. Once it is played,
VLC stops instead of going on with file2. This problem doesn't occur
when the "Auto start" playlist option is enabled (default). It doesn't
occur either if file2 was unfolded (by double-clicking on it) before
playing the last item of file1.

I can reproduce the bug with upstream's master git.
