I have spent about 15 hours debugging xdrrec streams, and finally came across my problem when
reading xdr_rec.c. In a comment before xdrrec_skiprecord(), it mentions that this function should be
called before trying to use the stream. In fact, this record must be called otherwise reading from
the stream will always fail. I strongly encourage you to point this out in the rpc/xdr.h header
file, so it saves some programmer some time in the future.

Ok, in the man page for xdr(3), append to this note under xdrrec_create:
Note: the XDR stream's op field must be set by the caller.
so that it reads
Note: the XDR stream's op field must be set by the caller. The caller must call xdrrec_skiprecord() on
this stream before reading from it.
That seems straightforward enough.

Man page changes are completely wrong here. Bring this up with the man page
maintainer. glibc does not come with man pages and the info pages don't
document rpc.
