What steps will reproduce the problem?
http://play.golang.org/p/t897gzvOxP

What is the expected output?
<inner></inner>
<outer><inner></inner></outer>

What do you see instead?
<inner></inner>
<outer></outer>

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
go test

Which operating system are you using?
Windows 7, 32bit

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
go version go1

Please provide any additional information below.
The "Any" field is tagged ",any" for the benefit of Unmarshal -- I
expect the tag (but not the entire field) to be ignored by Marshal.

Comment 1:

I've attached a patch. However it fails the adjusted test:
-       ExpectXML:  
`<a><nested><value>known</value></nested></a>`,
+       ExpectXML:  
`<a><nested><value>known</value></nested><AnyField><unknown/></AnyField></a>`,
Some strange things going on with the parent nesting, I wouldn't have expected this from
reading the code.

Comment 2:

Attached is a patch that includes the test, too.  I couldn't find any documentation that
seemed relevant to update, but this seems to have been deliberately omitted, so there
may be a pitfall somewhere that we should mention.
Another example of code that seems like it should work:
