Comment:

 As the title correctly suggests, this issue is caused by the lack of a XML
 parser.
 We parse XML input files line-by-line, and inevitably it will have some
 issues.
 such as:
 http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5460

 I suggest rewrite/improve the import code, by using an XML parser, when we
 switch to PHP 5.x.  Before that, it's not practical to tweak the current
 code further, as it may cause other side effects.
