Description

When
substring-before("Some string with a newline","&#xA")
or
substring-after("Some string with a newline","&#xA")
are called, they return strings of 0 length, even though
contains("Some string with a newline","&#xA")
evaluates to TRUE.

When the split string is expanded to include a non-escaped character,
such ".&#xA", the routines return proper values and treats the newline
character properly.
