V1.0.3 XML node Error: Invalid character in name

I’m not sure wether is valid or not but the structure of the XML is defined with the 3rd party endpoint. What I could manage to installed xml-js package and add to require this into node-red settings.js and use this idirectly from function node instead of built in xml node.

Now it works, but what changed between 1.0.0 and 1.0.3 which screw up in my app the xml node? Maxbe the package behind the xml node got new version?
