That's because its-tool looks for python and python-config instead of python3 and python3-config so it finds the virtenv python and of course libxml2.py isn't installed there. As I said I usually drop to the shell and create those symlinks then re-run itstool's configure. Your fix installed it in the virtenv instead and that's fine for GnuCash.
