I don't know about the intenals of libxml2 but have you tried enclosing
the content in a CDATA section ?

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-cdata-sect

The spec talks about the being used "to escape blocks of text containing
characters which would otherwise be recognized as markup" but it might
work for binary characters too.
