"<", ">", "--" and "&" are reserved in xml, so by inserting html that
includes '<' or '>', you're messing up the xml file. You need to keep
the parser from working on the markup inside <label>, so try this way
instead:

<label index="rules_text">
  <![CDATA[
    <b>Foo</b><br />
    <i>bar</i>
  ]]>
</label>

'cdata' should be ignored by an xml parser. Alternatively, you could
escape all '<' and '>' going into the xml file to &lt; and &gt; and
back on the way out, but this might be impractical...
