X-NODEREF or X-DOCUMENT CREATE-NODE got an error: An invalid character was specified. (9082)

X-NODEREF must be associated with a valid X-DOCUMENT in order to use it in method APPEND-CHILD. (9102)

Using nbsp does nothing

/* Sample code to reproduce */

DEFINE VAR lhDoc AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VAR lhHtml AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VAR lhBody AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VAR lhSpan AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VAR lhNbsp AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.

CREATE X-DOCUMENT lhDoc.
CREATE X-NODEREF lhHtml.
CREATE X-NODEREF lhBody.
CREATE X-NODEREF lhSpan.
CREATE X-NODEREF lhNbsp.

lhDoc:LOAD("FILE", "source.xml", FALSE).
lhDoc:GET-DOCUMENT-ELEMENT(lhHtml).
lhHtml:GET-CHILD(lhBody, 1).
lhBody:GET-CHILD(lhSpan, 1).
/* lhDoc:CREATE-NODE(lhNbsp, "#160", "ENTITY-REFERENCE"). */
lhDoc:CREATE-NODE(lhNbsp, "nbsp", "ENTITY-REFERENCE").
lhSpan:APPEND-CHILD(lhNbsp).
lhDoc:SAVE("FILE", "dest.xml").
