I disagree.

Ummmmm .... when I add white-space-treatment="preserve" everything seems to 
work fine ... I don't think XEP is broken, I think the problem is in your 
stylesheet.

In my XSL-FO training I tell students about four properties available to do 
listings, not just the three you are using in your code:

   linefeed-treatment="preserve"
   white-space-collapse="false"
   white-space-treatment="preserve"
   wrap-option="no-wrap"  (this one is optional depending on what you want 
to do at the end of a line)

I hope this helps.
