That's weird. MDR definitely does not print anything like that. Maybe 
the XML parser does that. Try if the file is a valid XML.

MDR does this automatically. In earlier versions of MagicDraw there was 
a bug in XMI serialization causing CompositionViolationException. I 
don't know if this was fixed in MagicDraw 9, but so far this does not 
seem to be your problem.
