Preserving white space and entity references in DataChannel XJP

I
am experiencing some strange behavior with the datachannel XML parser package
(the most recent one).
In
my reading of the DOM spec, this is not appropriate behavior, but perhaps I am
missing something.
The
behavior is that when I do a 'setPreserveWhiteSpace(true)' before parsing a
document, and the document
contains strings with entity
references such as:
<element1> < fubar >
</element1>
when I then do a getText()
on element1, what is returned is a java.lang.String that contains a
null (char 0) for each entity reference.
These nulls of course confound the rest of the code I am writing.
In side the DOM tree the entity reference objects are happily holding the
appropriate text representation i.e. '<' and
'>'.
Turning off white
space preservation makes the getText() place appropriate
decoded entity references in the resulting string.
Bug
or feature?
