For the benefit of others who encoutner this behaviour:
It seems that when accessing the service using "GET" the XML returned
is LITERAL, regardless of the attributes.
This means that the default web pages that allow testing simple web
services will not suffice - they use GET and will fail on circular
references and such.
Don't fret - accessing the service in SOAP _does_ return ENCODED
format.
