Hi Alfred, I tested this and can confirm the problem. Unfortunately, because the behaviour was the same in 2006GB, I won't be able to insist on a fix for 2007. The code freeze is this Friday so it's urgent issues such as things that "used to work" that are the priority.
The only thing I can suggest is to use lists to create the multitext. See http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Text_Node_Creation for more information on how to do that.
