Not quite the same, but I've now done exactly the above and get the same error.
Note - the error appears in a popup window. I've a feeling that depending on your browser settings the error may show as an exclamation mark in the status bar instead, double-clicking shows the error.
If you are using Notepad as your text editor, try to use Save As and check file encoding. XMLs work fine with UTF-8. If you have xml declaration, encodings must fit.
Just because a browser might display it doesn't mean it's valid!
IE can cope with all sorts of invalid HTML as well, making (sometimes correct!) guesses about what is intended, but the HTML is still wrong.
It's playing with words. XML contains invalid characters. Browsers are allowed to display them.
It's in the grey zone; neither valid, nor strictly invalid.
You can't compare XML and HTML. XML is very strict, HTML is very relaxed by definition.

Yes, it's UTF-8.
It's definitely related to the invalid characters - if I edit it and remove all the '&#' then it displays fine.
This gives the error:
<rows>
<_x0023_t a="�" />
</rows>
This does not:
<rows>
<_x0023_t a="x0;" />
</rows>

It can be some error during copy-paste. I had no problem. Where have you copied the XML segment from?
Bad thing in these forums is, HTML washes all XML/HTML details away, as you can see in the "source" of your post and the displayed result. And the devil is in details.

Copied from the output of the SQL.
And the XML displayed in my post is exactly the same as what I pasted.

Nice question. Illustrates how silly some of XML is.

Which IE version? One should be very careful to post an answer referring to a specific application without an explicit version. Sorry but not all machines will have the same results in these conditions.

Two or three last versions.
Which one have you tried?

Well, I was using IE 7. An error is shown. The same as of those posts before mine. And I have edited the XML to contain <root>. Not sure what happened then. Maybe it's only me.
