Seems as if there could be a relation to embeded perl, see post on  
nagios-users from Peter Krüpl:

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0 EPN problems....
The output gets garbled like the following:  "&#-64;&#-66;:67 Peer  
is Up."
instead of :"AS9167 Peer is Up."

This happens when i have "use_embedded_perl_implicitly=1" configured....
When i have "use_embedded_perl_implicitly=0" configured and
include "# nagios: +epn" in my plugins.... the output is ok.

Cheers, Ingo.
