Problem with empty text nodes in XSLTC transformation of DOM

[Anders Blaagaard]

I have problem with XSLTC transformation of a DOM representation that is 
similar to this (but larger):

<A>
 <B>
   <C></C>
   <D>ddddddddd</D>
   <E>eeeeeeeeeee</E>
   <F>ffffffffffff</F>
    ...
 </B>
  ...
</A>
Note that C is not an empty element, but contains a text node with the 
empty string as its value.

When I use a serializer to output the document it looks as expected, but 
when I put it through a transformation, e.g. a simple "identity" 
transformation like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

The document appears to look like this:
<A>
 <B>
   <C>dddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffff</C>
   <D>ddddddddd</D>
   <E>eeeeeeeeeee</E>
   <F>ffffffffffff</F>
 </B>
</A>
Here are some observations I made:
- Only a XSLTC problem - works a expected with Xalan
- Seems to be independent of the stylesheet
- If the value of the text node in C is not empty, I don't get the 
problem, but it doesn't happen with any document containing an empty 
text node.

I haven't yet been able to reproduce this in a simple isolated example, 
that I can share with you, but if anyone have a clue what might be going 
on, or where to look, or how to debug, or ..., please let me know.

Thanks,
