Are you sure you are viewing you result document in an editor that supports uicode? I know I had the same problem, and I thought xsltproc was broken. But xalan may be outputting the entities as true unicode charactes. Your editor may be set for Latin-1 encoding, and will read the first byte of the unicode character and produce the strange results you posted below. I fixed the problem when I upgraded my editor to support unicode. Once I set the encoding to utf-8, the strange results went away.
