By the time the XML is pretty-printed like this, it's already been unescaped in
Wocky (arguably, it ought to re-escape it before it prints it, but this is just
a debug log anyway). I suspect that what the server is actually sending you
might look more like this:

<item jid='yyy at gmail.com' name='Lars Silv&#xE9;n'

(i.e. uselessly double-escaped).

Could you try running Gabble with WOCKY_DEBUG=all (see
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Debugging for details) and see what XML
your server is actually sending? (This log might contain private information
and need censoring - in particular, don't show us the SASL handshake when you
log in.)

If it is indeed sending double-escaped names, then I'm afraid this is not
Gabble's fault. You should be able to rename the offending contacts, hopefully
(e.g. right-click -> Edit, in Empathy).
