source for it being well documented? xml suffers apostrophe issues to.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/09/how-the-post... says As early as 2001, McDonnell’s team had found “hundreds” of bugs. A full list has never been produced,

seems almost guaranteed to me it had apostrophy bugs.

Source for it being identified as a root cause of the Horizon issues.

As far as I can see, there is no evidence that it was.

The evidence is they are changing the street names to stop bugs in software.

The question is what software is so hard to fix its easier to change the physical street names than fix the data entry for those street names.

Horizon seems the likely candidate, and the fix is equally stupid.
