André,
Yes, it was a problem of the toolkit, and they just fixed it. We will
apply the patch in WordForge, as we are still using the same code.
This does not really solve the problem, which is to get a working filter
for ODF-XLIFF, but so far it can be done with Omega-T
The main issue with the toolkit is that it does not keep the structure
of XLIFF files internally, but it creates its own internal
representation. If something is not specifically represented internally,
then it is not stored, and therefore not saved back in the file. This is
why WordForge ia moving away from the toolkit, because not being native
to XLIFF it is very hard to work on implementation of XLIFF features.
Lokalize does not have this problem because it keeps all the data of an
XLIFF file, independently of understanding it or not.

Are you sure? There were plenty of placeholders in the file exported by
Sophie. To me, it looks like most of the problem is actually in Pootle
itself, because it simply ignores XML tags in the translatable string.
The problem might look "simple" - but afaik, all (but one) free
translation
editors share the same problem.
Pootle has the problem, I'd bet virtaal (based on the same toolkit)
has the
same problem.
Nope. In fact, I was explicitly suggested by Pootle/Virtaal's authors
that we use Virtaal for XLIFF because of much better support for this
file format.
Wordforge Editor removes the inline tags (just tested). OLTE
removes them (spent some days on trying to find a solution, but it
woult mean
a major redesign of the internal translation handling in the editor).
Afaik, only Lokalize handles inlines correctly. I did not check other
tools like OmegaT yet.
So after all, for document translation XLIFF is the better (because
more rich)
file format, but it lacks the tools :(
