I don't understand where the backslashes and space after the "&" are
coming from, I tried something similar and got

<xml>haha lala /&amp; gt;</xml>

That would be invalid XML, xmlstarlet will not produce it. In XML,
"&amp;" means "&".

PS: please send xmlstarlet questions to the mailing list (I've added
it to cc), or make a support request at
http://sourceforge.net/p/xmlstar/support-requests/.
