A little more info.

Can you get a debug log from Gabble, to verify exactly what is being sent to it from the network?

But I think your server is sending you XML which it shouldn't be. RFC 6120 says <http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6120.html#intro-terms>:

    some examples in this document use the form "&#x...." as a notational device to represent [UNICODE] characters (e.g., the string "&#x0159;" stands for the Unicode character LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH CARON); this form is definitely not to be sent over the wire in XMPP systems.

The server should be sending you UTF-8, not escape sequences.
