Hi Felipe,

Thanks for the patch.
I've tested it against 5.2.5 source. It fixes the case:

$xml_element->addChild('node2','c & d');

but not the case:

$xml_element->node1[0] = 'a & b';//still decodes

And another one:
$xml_element->node1[0] = 'a & b';

decodes the html entities while it should not.

Based on:
$xml_element = new simpleXMLElement('<root></root>');
$xml_element['attrib1'] = 'a &#38; b';
$xml_element->addAttribute('attrib2','c &#38; d');

print $xml_element['attrib1'];
print $xml_element['attrib2'];

which gives:
a &#38; bc &#38; d

I guess the correct behaviour is to leave the entities as they are, so
in the previous example addChild() gives the wring result.

Description:
------------
There is a difference in the way the html entities are handled when the
new nodes are assigned in different ways. In case of using addChild
method they are decoded, otherwise not.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$xml_element = new simpleXMLElement('<root></root>');
$xml_element->node1 = 'a &#38; b';
$xml_element->addChild('node2','c &#38; d');

print $xml_element->node1;
print $xml_element->node2;


Expected result:
----------------
a &#38; bc &#38; d//both left
or
a & bc & d//both decoded

Actual result:
--------------
a &#38; bc & d//one left and the other decoded
