Is there a way to get the actual element contents as it exists in the file (i.e. &amp;) through the libxml2

  No, because for example "&#38;" and "&amp;" have exactly the same 
internal representation. You cannot go back or guess. Since all
XML parsers tend to do the same, if you really require it the design
of the hash algorithm is totally broken XML wise.
