You likely have the sequence "&\ufffd" in a parsed character data section of a document, and the parser, seeing the ampersand, knows that either an entity reference name or a character reference beginning with '#' must follow. XML entity reference names can only start with what the XML spec designates as Letter characters[1]; U+FFFD is not one of these. If I'm right, then the document in question is not well-formed XML, and the XML spec requires parsers to fail under this circumstance. Try using xmllint (part of the Gnome Libxml2 project[2]) or some other XML well-formedness checker, and you should see the same error.
