That's the way the indenting works in libxml2. As soon as an element 
containing a text node is found, indenting is disabled for all the 
contents of that element. So if you had something like the following, 
everything should work as expected:

<another-element>
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&#38;some-link-name;</xsl:text>
</another-element>

If the entity reference must be created inside the chapter element, then 
I don't think there's a way to achieve indenting.
