PH19871: bo attributes are not working correctly after upgrading to WebSphere 8.5.5.16

The handling of BO attributes (@attrname) does not work when
WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5.16 is in use.
For example "bo.@name" might refer to the same data item as
"bo.name". This is at least the case if there exists a BO
element and a BO attribute with the same name.
In our testcase, the invoked JSP (index.jsp) sets the element
"name" of the BO "CompanyInfo" to "test1",
and expects the Business rules executed as "operation1" to
return
a value of --> "test2" for the BO element "name" and
a value of --> "test1" for the BO attribute "name" (@name):
Here is an excerpt of index.jsp:
DataObject input = DataFactory.INSTANCE.create(type);
bo =
boFactory.create("http://www.example.org/CompanyInfo","CompanyIn
fo");
bo.setString("name","test1");
input.setDataObject(0,bo);
System.out.println("enter operation1 of BRXSD01!!!!!");
DataObject result = (DataObject)
service.invoke("operation1",input);
String name_e=
result.getDataObject("output1").getString("name");
String name_a=
result.getDataObject("output1").getString("@name");
System.out.println("name_e of BRXSD01 is "+name_e);
System.out.println("name_a of BRXSD01 is "+name_a);
...
if(name_e.equals("test2")&&name_a.equals("test1")){
target_res="BRXSD01PASSED";...
This is the ruleset being executed:

"name" as well as an attribute named "name":
