I found that the bug is unrelated to the RPC API. I believed that first
because it confluenced with a bug in Banshee, also regarding XML, but they
are unrelated.
However, why the UI code is run upon receiving an RPC call is a complete
mytery to me.
Find attached a patch that fixes the xml_from_array() method in ui.lib.php
by implementing the exact specifications from the linked W3 article
instead of re-interpretating it to an unreadable form.
