This gets even more interesting. According to Daniel Velliard, the original
XSLT Recommendation was not clear on this matter. The later Errata
document[1] (item E2) makes it explicit that the copy of the node should
also have those characters escaped, so this will likely be fixed in some
future version of xsltproc.
