--- Comment #6 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
The problem is that your record isn't valid XML. While it is possible for Koha
to make invalid XML via the HTML form, it's very unlikely to happen with the &. 

So I'd say these records are from an external source that created them without
regard to XML validity.

Another noticeable flaw is also the following:

  <datafield tag="852" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
    <subfield code="a"></subfield>
  </datafield>

That would never happen in a record created by Koha I think. If there's an
empty value, the subfield and field would not have been created at all.

My suggestion would be to write a script to iterate through your records and
check whether or not they can be parsed as XML. Flag the ones that cannot be
parsed, and look at fixing the problems.
