it depends how you define "bug"
it's a dcumented and frustrating incompatibility.

If you call msxml via script you can set a preservewhitespace flag to
turn off this behaviour, but if you directly pass the file to IE it
calls msxml with this flag helpfully set to be incompatible.

putting xml:space="preserve" at the top of your input file
turns this off.
