Notification is not sent when there is an apostrophe in the email subject

I have a notification template in French that contains an apostrophe in the email subject. Even though it is escaped ('), the workflow that adds the entry to a work queue ends with an error, basically complaining about the apostrophe. When I move the escaped apostrophe to the body, the workflow runs through without problem.

In this example, the apostrophe is added both in the subject and body, but when testing it was either in the subject or the body.

<ROOT>
	  <OrigamNotification>
			 <xsl:attribute name="Subject">
				  <xsl:value-of select="concat($orgName,' - Ouverture d&apos;un compte client')"/>
			 </xsl:attribute>
			 <Body>&lt;html&gt;
Bon&apos;jour <xsl:value-of select="$customerFirstNameAndName"/>
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

The email body from the Mail queue:

<html>
Bon'jour xxx yyy
<br>
<br>

Log with the error:

I think what you actually want in your final XML is

Bon&apos;jour xxx yyy

No, the problem is the apostrophe in the subject.

Try creating a variable

<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>

and then using the $apos instead of &apos;
