The '&' in character references is converted to & when used in set_attribute
e.g. ! is changed to !

$oXml      = new_xmldoc("1.0");           
$oRoot     = $oXml->add_root("outputXml");
$oRoot->set_attribute("test","&033;");
print $oXml->dumpmem();

This produces 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<outputXml test="&amp;033;"/>

instead of
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<outputXml test="&033;"/>

You actually ran into a feature of libxml2. It does automatic character encoding. I remember it was discussed to implement a function to set raw attributes but as far as I know the current version it's not implemented so there's little we can do about it (but I would be happy to be proved being wrong here).

Not a PHP bug -> bogusifying.
