Well, yes, you can't translate the line# given by the error message 
into line# in the source file. SeqIO::interpro chops up the input at 
<protein>...</protein> and then passes each chunk to the XML::Parser 
instance.

There is no other editing of the chunks going on though except for a 
haphazard substitution of certain double-quotes. In order to see the 
chunk before it gets sent to the parser instance edit 
Bio/SeqIO/interpro.pm and before the line

	  $self->parse_xml($xml_fragment);

put a print statement that prints out the content of $xml_fragment. 
That should also give the exact source XML that trips up the parser.
