It looks to me as if the string is not well formed.

You have essentially

<![CDATA[<img src="aaa?&location=sio"/>]]>

So the input XML document is well formed

but the string you are passing to the xml parser is


<img src="aaa?&location=sio"/>

which is not well formed.

the input should be


<![CDATA[<img src="aaa?&location=sio"/>]]>

If you know all your ampersands are not escaped, and you can't fix the
source documents  you could use a regexp-replace to escape them before
parsing

parse-xml-fragment(replace($feed,'&','&amp;'))
