  Okay I finally spent the hour needed to get this fixed. Basically
I had to rewrote xmlStringGetNodeList() to handle char references,
the patch to 2.3.6 is enclosed.

orchis:~/XML -> cat test.xml
<setvar value="&#38;!=x1A9F9A">&#38;!=x1A9F9A</setvar>
orchis:~/XML -> /usr/bin/xmllint --debug test.xml
DOCUMENT
version=1.0
URL=test.xml
standalone=true
  ELEMENT setvar
    ATTRIBUTE value
      ENTITY_REF(#38)
      TEXT
        content=!=x1A9F9A
    TEXT
      content=&!=x1A9F9A
orchis:~/XML -> ./xmllint --debug test.xml
DOCUMENT
version=1.0
URL=test.xml
standalone=true
  ELEMENT setvar
    ATTRIBUTE value
      TEXT
        content=&!=x1A9F9A
    TEXT
      content=&!=x1A9F9A
orchis:~/XML -> 

  The old version was generating an entity reference, the new one
properly generates a single text node for the attribute content.
