DW CS3 loses CDATA directive

Question

DW 9.0 Build 3481 on Windows XP.
I'm converting the results of a mySQL query into XML, so that
I can use Spry. I paraphrased an example on the Spry web site to do
this conversion and it works great.
However, I noticed that if I made changes to the page from
the Code or Split tab, all would be well, but if I made any change
at all on the Design tab, when I saved it, DW removed the CDATA in
the line below. This, of course, breaks the XML that is generated.
Original line in the page:
<<?php echo $column; ?>><![CDATA[<?php echo
$row_rsAll[$column]; ?>]]></<?php echo $column;
?>>
DW changes it to this:
<<?php echo $column; ?>><?php echo
$row_rsAll[$column]; ?></<?php echo $column; ?>>
I've worked around this by rewriting the line so that it's
all inside a <?php ?> tag, but I thought someone might like
to know this is going on.

The video tutorial I have created at the following location
