The cause of this issue is that JAXB is unable to deal CDATA content.
To solve this issues I had to patch the Kml.java source file as specified in 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1506663/can-i-force-jaxb-not-to-convert-into-
quot-for-example-when-marshalling-to.

So I added a custom CharacterEscapeHandler and modified the createMarshaller() 
method adding the following lines:

            m.setProperty("jaxb.encoding", "Unicode");
            m.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.CharacterEscapeHandler", new NullCharacterEscapeHandler());

It works. I do not know if there is any side effect of this patch.

Following on from Alberto's comment, attached is a MyKML.java which overrides 
the needed methods. I used this as I could not be bothered playing with my 
maven repo and modifying the KML.java.
Feel free to use
