Unhappy iSiloXC misconverting character entities

With both iSiloXC 3.x and 4.0, certain character entities are misconverted. A sample ixl file follows with one such offending document. Look at the first paragraph. With iSilo 4.0, I see text that reads "had neuroscience?indeed, all the life sciences?in a chokehold". If you view it in a browser, you will see that those question marks are actually em dashes.

The convertor for iSilo 2.x converts the document just fine.
