Indeed, it is a bug: mbstring lacks support for numeric hex entities,
they are decoded as if were decimals, so 'x' becomes the "decimal digit"
'x'-'0'=120-48=72, from which the strange value you obtained. I already
sent a short patch to internalsATlists.php.net, hoping be the right place.
PS. If you are playing with such a conversion, chances are that your HTML
pages are not properly encoded. Sure you need to do that?
