Thanks to everyone who responded. I guess this is a more widespread problem
than I thought and I feel better that it's not just my specific unit. I
agree that it's not really a big deal. It's just a detail that makes the
manufacturer come off looking like they don't know what they are doing. By
the way, I found this page while doing some research on this topic. It
seems that there is a some problem with the way the units parse XML. In
Honda's case they are probably just ignoring the data and in this case it's
interpreting the whole string as data.
