WDDX crashes on XML from DB (CF 2016)

When I query a DB table with an XML column

<cfquery name="qryData">
  DECLARE @data xml = '<ul class="xoxo"><li><span><b>Config</b> [<var>1</var>]:</span><code>compliance</code></li></ul>'

  SELECT @data AS Conf
</cfquery>

It crashed when converted to WDDX

<cfwddx action = "cfml2wddx" input = "#qryData#" output = "wddxText">

Is there a better workaround than Casting to varchar(max) ?
