XML not being properly evaluated in 11.36?

We recently upgraded to 11.36 and quite a few workflows are now having issues.

One thing I noticed is that embedded XML is not being properly evaluated it when I look at in in the debugger.

I have the instance properties stored in a map and in the XML 

I extract the properties, which I assume should be evaluated at runtime.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<App_UpdateInstancePropertiesRequest>
	<association>
		<entity>
			<instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId>
		</entity>
	</association>
	<instanceProperties>
		<instance>
			<instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId>
		</instance>
		<oracleInstance>
			<useCatalogConnect>true</useCatalogConnect>
			<catalogConnect>
				<userName>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("oracleSID")}</userName>
				<domainName>xpath:{/workflow/configuration/RMAN_CATALOG_DOMAIN}</domainName>
				<password>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("rmanPass")}</password>
			</catalogConnect>
			<TNSAdminPath>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("oracleHome")}</TNSAdminPath>
			<disableRMANcrosscheck>false</disableRMANcrosscheck>
			<encryptionFlag>ENC_NONE</encryptionFlag>
			<isOnDemand>false</isOnDemand>
			<overrideDataPathsForCmdPolicy>false</overrideDataPathsForCmdPolicy>
			<overrideDataPathsForLogPolicy>false</overrideDataPathsForLogPolicy>
			<numberOfArchiveLogBackupStreams>1</numberOfArchiveLogBackupStreams>
			<oracleStorageDevice>
				<commandLineStoragePolicy>
					<storagePolicyName>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("sp")}</storagePolicyName>
				</commandLineStoragePolicy>
				<logBackupStoragePolicy>
					<storagePolicyName>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("logsp")}</storagePolicyName>
				</logBackupStoragePolicy>
				<softwareCompression>USE_STORAGE_POLICY_SETTINGS</softwareCompression>
				<networkAgents>2</networkAgents>
				<throttleNetworkBandwidth>0</throttleNetworkBandwidth>
				<deDuplicationOptions>
					<generateSignature>ON_CLIENT</generateSignature>
				</deDuplicationOptions>
			</oracleStorageDevice>
		</oracleInstance>
		<instanceActivityControl>
			<activityControlOptions>
				<activityType>BACKUP</activityType>
				<enableActivityType>true</enableActivityType>
				<enableAfterADelay>false</enableAfterADelay>
			</activityControlOptions>
			<activityControlOptions>
				<activityType>RESTORE</activityType>
				<enableActivityType>true</enableActivityType>
				<enableAfterADelay>false</enableAfterADelay>
			</activityControlOptions>
		</instanceActivityControl>
		<isDeleted>false</isDeleted>
	</instanceProperties>
</App_UpdateInstancePropertiesRequest>

This is what I am seeing at runtime.

 <inputXml><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
&lt;App_UpdateInstancePropertiesRequest&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
   &lt;association&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
      &lt;entity&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
         &lt;instanceId&gt;5575&lt;/instanceId&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
      &lt;/entity&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
   &lt;/association&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
   &lt;instanceProperties&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
      &lt;instance&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#</inputXml>

Looks like the parsing is breaking somewhere.

This used to work in 11.32, is there some other way I should approach this?

Thanks.

Chris.
