It looks like it happens always with rich text content. For an example (this
is the automatically generated upgrade.xsl to a really simple Infopath form
which consists on a rich text field alone "m:richTextField" and later added
a new attribute "my:newAttribute").
upgrade.xsl:
--------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="

<xsl:template match="my:myFields" mode="_0">

<xsl:element name="my:richTextField">
<xsl:apply-templates select="my:richTextField/text() |

mode="RichText"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------------------------------------
When applied to this .xml file generated with Infopath after filling the
form (with no my:newAttribute):
form2.xml:
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The program I use is really simple:
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using System.Xml.Xsl;
class QuickXslTransformer
{
private XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
public QuickXslTransformer(
string source,
string stylesheet,
string output)
{
xslt.Load(stylesheet);
xslt.Transform(source, output, null as XmlResolver);
}
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
QuickXslTransformer o;
o = new QuickXslTransformer(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"Unable to apply the XSLT transformation.");
Console.WriteLine("Error:\t{0}", e.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e.GetType().ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
return;
}
}
