So application itself writes malformed xml file using msxml functionality or
just does it internally somehow?

According to XML Spec (as I understand it) such case is considered fatal error:

---
It is a fatal error if an XML entity is determined (via default, encoding
declaration, or higher-level protocol) to be in a certain encoding but contains
byte sequences that are not legal in that encoding.
---

and that makes sense, but msxml error handling could differ of course.

Well, it's possible to add some workarounds for this.
