Yes, the Property List Editor I am using is version 3.1. My apologies.
And my question does turn out to have been very dumb. Unbeknownst to
me, BBEdit understands Apple binary Plist format, and puts these files
into XML format when it opens them. (You can use BBEdit to edit these
binary files. When BBEdit writes these files it is back into the
binary format.)
Because I was checking the results of the Property List Editor by
using BBEdit on the binary files I was totally snookered into
believing the files were still in XML text format.

You mention a feature of Property List Editor that isn't present in
the version shipped with Xcode 3.0, so it probably *is* a question
pertaining to NDA'd material.
In any case, I have 2 suggestions:
1. Use the plutil command instead of Property List Editor.
2. File a bug-report against the malfunctioning (and apparently
beta) Property List Editor.
You can run plutil in a script to convert as many files as you
wish. You can convert them back to XML by a script, too. You can
add a Script build phase to Xcode to do this automatically, if
appropriate.
Online man-page for plutil:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/plutil.1.html
You should also be able to see it using Xcode's man-page viewer
(Help menu, IIRC), or the old-fashioned way: typing 'man plutil' in
a Terminal window.
