It has nothing to do with attributes. If a word (or element) is too long to wrap properly, PSGML simply bails out without finishing the formatting. You can fix this by increasing the fill column with set-fill-column until it wraps better. In the example above, you'd have to set the fill column to include "</filename>". Kind of an ugly workaround, but it's nice to know what's causing it.
