The only way I could reproduce this problem on Saxon 6.5.2 (or on MSXML 3)
was to use text output without specifying an encoding, or specifying utf-8.
Support for different encoding formats for text output are
implementation-dependent, and it's likely only a narrow set (like ISO
8859-1) is supported.

Setting the encoding to iso-8859-1 (or specifying XML output) fixed the
problem, but that may not be the appropriate solution for all locales.

cheers,
b.
