There is another issue here that I've come across while testing the bug. If the variable containing the XML data contains any white space such as \n, \r or ' ', the resulting output is blank.

Whitespace after the target are removed - normal behavior.
The linespacing (between the closing bug tag and the PI) is screwed up as your xml is not well formed.

As far as whitespaces in the variable producing blank output, check the return error. The xml declaration is probably screwed up to produce no output. This was the only instance I could reproduce no output.
