The XML-RPC definition of a string is an "ASCII string", while the body
of a request is defined to be an XML document. 

These two definitions are contradictory because the ASCII string
definition would allow the transmission of non-XML characters while the
XML document definition precludes it.

I take the logicians perspective on this: contradictory premises allow
one to prove anything :-)

The simplest change would be to redefine string to be "a string of XML
Chars".
