XMLSPY 5.4 and curly braces in input documents

Hello folks,
I have got some xml documents containing curly braces in text nodes or
within attributes and I cannot process them using XMLSPY rel. 5.4.
Apparently the XSLT engine mistakenly interprets them as some sort of inline
parameter expression and returns an error whereas Saxon 6.5.3 handles them
smoothly.

Is there any known workaround?
I tried escaping them using character values but the problem remains.

Bye,
Flavio
