[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#397395: libxslt1.1: xsl:copy-of of an attribute value with ampersand causes error: unterminated entity reference

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libxslt1.1
Version: 1.1.18-1
Severity: important

[Set severity to important since this is a regression that makes
existing XSLT files fail.]

This is upstream bug 352907[*], still marked an unconfirmed after
more than two months, but I can reproduce it under Debian.

As this page says:

  Using xsltproc, an xsl:copy-of of a node set that contains an
  attribute value with an escaped ampersand (whether & or &)
  causes the following error: error : unterminated entity reference
