You could always try escaping the special characters. So doing this
element.addText( "<]]>"" );
That could then quite happily pass through XML processing quite happily,
then if you want it to appear back as <]]>" again you could unescape the
special characters again. e.g. if you were to view the markup in a HTML
browser it would look like <]]>"
