If there are not allowed characters in XML, then it will be raised. But 
there are couple of other chances that it's not receiving expected XMLs. 
For example, some people use BinaryMessageEncodingBindingElement with 
HttpTransportBindingElement, which might bring wrong (unexpected) binary 
format error.
Can you post the actual code that reproduces your problem?

And it'd be a lot nicer if you try mono from trunk instead of old 2.6.3.

It's likely due to problematic ServiceMetadataBehavior issue, but it's 
anyways hard to tell exactly without code.

I'm not sure what's going on there, but remember I mentioned Binary 
message encoder above.
