it seems the solution to this problem is quite simple after all. Could you verify this works for you?
cheers,

I was fixing a change that occured in v1.16. In 1.16 support was added for putting xml:space=preserve as an attribute to control the preservation of whitespace at the element level.

(look at rev1.20). It's got nothing to do with phoenix I think; it's in avalon-framework. I'm contacting the developer who made the change (Hi Peter!) directly to ask for feedback
Changing the behaviour back might lead to breakages in other areas. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Anyone else have a suggestion?
My 1.20 change merely restored the behavior of returning null. If the empty-string behavior is desired, one can put xml:space=preserve as an attribute of the root element and it should flow down to all child elements (it is inherited, so if you enable it at a higher level you must explicitly disable it at a lower level with xml:space="anything that isn't preserve").
