 In boost/property_tree/detail/rapidxml.hpp

 At member function template
 {{{
 template<class StopPred, class StopPredPure, int Flags>
 static Ch *skip_and_expand_character_refs(Ch *&text)
 }}}

 It supports escape "&amp;", "&quot;", "&gt;", "&lt;" and "&#nn;". (nn is
 number, xnn is also supported. When the member function template find the
 charactor '&' it starts parsing. And if it couldn't find the correct
 match, escape string is ignore and just copy '&' verbatim. But in the case
 of "&#nn", the error below would occur. And this error throw the
 parse_error exception.
 {{{
 BOOST_PROPERTY_TREE_RAPIDXML_PARSE_ERROR("expected ;", src);
 }}}

 I expect just ignore instead of the error. This behavior is same as other
 escape string's manner.

 I attached patch. Could you check it?
