Yes, extra steps are needed to parse entities. The following code shows the two extra lines of code needed to enable entity expanding in the DOM
using System;
using System.Xml;
public class EntitiesTest
{
public static void Main() {
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
#if ENTITY_HANDLING
XmlValidatingReader vr = new XmlValidatingReader(new XmlTextReader("entities.xml"));
vr.ValidationType = ValidationType.None;
doc.Load(vr);
#else
doc.Load("entities.xml");
#endif
Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml);
}
}
I remember asking about this a while ago and the answer was related to last minute code changes for perf reasons.

I have come to understand in the course of this thread that the original
point was about a bug rather than a feature Thanks for the clarification.
What about the assertion that the some extra setup is needed to parse
entities? Is that my misunderstanding of the "bug" or a "feature"?
But once again, I don't want to tie my argument here to what MS does or
does not do, nor to malign them by association with a position that is
obviously unpopular!
