I would expect this:

How can I get my expected output?

You are probably confusing XML documents and XML APIs. In a
XML document you'll have to encode a less sign as <. If
you put text in a DOM tree, you just use '<'. You don't have
markup in DOM tree text nodes, therefore no escaping of
special characters is necesary. Same for SAX character
events.
Another possiblity is that you've some doubel escaping
somewhere. It's hard to say without knowing how you feed
input to the FO processor and how your data is generated.
