The reference to entity "Y" must end with the ';'

RQM1011, SQL server 2005 SP2, Windows 2003 SP2 server:
In the CQ Connector Gateway log file (stdout), there are a large number of exceptions as shown below. So far, I think it is related to some data in one or more RQM Defect work items that should be sync'ed into ClearQuest, but no evidence has been found yet. Has anyone seen something similar? Comment on how to debug/resolve the issue? Thanks.

On "another" RQM server in a similar environment, I saw similar exceptions:

:1:4877: The reference to entity "D.doc" must end with the ';' delimiter.
