Message:
same root cause as #1101376
the bugs seem to be rooted in changing behaviour of XML::Twig which still
has quite a bunch of related open bugs over at CPAN (no updates for >3
years now)
see: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=XML-Twig

I don't see how we can work around them without requiring a newer
XML::Twig or ditching XML::Twig in favour of some other Library.

Message:
Can you post an example?
The xmltv format doesn't support the usual HTML entities and I don't know
a good reason to change that.
