Error description
When a message that contains Unicode characters is sent through a flow while mediation trace is enabled then when the tracing code fails to serialize the non-XML characters it will also damage the internal structure of the SMO which will prevent it being accessed correctly later in the flow

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and Business Process Manager v7.5 and v8 who use Unicode characters in messages. **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When a message that includes Unicode characters that are invalid in XML, such as 0x1d, is parsed by a mediation primitive then an internal exception is seen. This exception should allow the flow to continue but a consequence is that the Service Message Object (SMO) that contains the message has it's container damaged and this can result in the SMO not being usable later in the flow.
Problem conclusion
The code was changed such that the container of the Service Message Object is not damaged when an invalid XML character is present in the message. This code fix was targeted to be included in the following fix packs: 7.5.1 Fix Pack 2 (v7.5.1.2) 8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 (BPM v8.0.1.3)
