Jeff Bailey seemed happy to consider this something to backport into
Dapper. I don't think there is any particular harm in recognising we had
a bug in the stable series and fixing it there : this has the advantage
of allowing us to upgrade our code ;).

(And it really is just a bug in the previous releases - all the other
places we use the xml content of inventories we treat it as a
bytestring.)
