it is also a side effects of using buffers

say that you do

\startsection[title=\xmlflush{#1}]

in fact what you then get is a reference to an xml node and that one is 
quite likely gone when you finish typesetting the buffer (that is, there 
is then a reference to a non existing node or maybe another one if you 
use the same buffer with some other xml) ; you can peek in the tuc file 
to see this in action

expansion will take the content but this also can have a side effect 
i.e. there can be nested elements

there are couple of options to deal with this (including piping back
snippets) and to some extend there is tracking of this

(mixing tex and xml in this way will always remain somewhat tricky)

eventually all this will be (and some already is) in the xml mkiv manual 
but ... it takes time ...
