I can confirm that this is still an issue on the Emacs trunk. However,
our XML reader does not retain information about whitespace (or the lack
of it). And
<p>[
<a>foo</a>]
</p>
is perfectly valid XML. I don't really think there's a way to "fix"
this, if it's considered a bug, which is kinda isn't. So I'm closing
this as "wontfix".
