Hi Luiz,
main goal of new validator is early catch of issues in autoyast profile so you do not waste time with invalid profile. As you can read in previous reply you can also disable it.
Now let me give a bit inside what happens here:

It is in fact bug in documentation, as it was always "module" as child element, but both options works. Why? Because parser for child of element that has type "list" ignores name and just parse its value.

I think even in error report suggestion is to use jing as validator to get better error message. Sadly we cannot use it directly in installer as it is java based and we do not have space/RAM for running it in installation.

As said before it was that way always in schema, just bug in documentation.
Good part is that we are now discussion to allow both in schema as both works and it is already in documentation.

I suggest to just use yast2-schema package and run jing on your profile to get quick xml schema validation as profile the fastest way to adapt autoyast profile.
