The bug here is that control characters are in your log message. Long
long ago, we prevented control characters from entering the
repository; they're illegal in repository filenames, and illegal in
repository log messages as well. The repository should be rejecting
the invalid data.
So the real bug here isn't "how should we fix the XML?"; the bug "how
did you get control characters into your log message in the first
place?"
