Webservice with returntype XML not working

[rhaddan]

I have a really basic webservice created in a CFC. It returns an XML doc. When I call it as a webservice, I get an error that it contains bad types. If I change the return type to string, it works fine.

If I call it as a CFC, it works fine and returns valid XML. What's the deal?

Of course, there's no meta element in my code. The generated WSDL looks like this:
