Digester takes its input from an XML parser, and there is no way to tell an XML parser to "stop treating the input as xml for a while" - except by wrapping the input in CDATA. If your input was: <text> <![CDATA[ ....<b>...</b>...<br/> ]]> </text> then everything would work as you want. This is the correct way to represent arbitrary text embedded within an xml document. If the content is valid XML, then you could use NodeCreateRule to turn the content of the <text> element into a dom tree, then walk that tree to turn it back into text.
