You need to define a type for your noEchoTextProvided element. This definition:
<element name="noEchoTextProvided"/>
defaults to type="xsd:anyType", and therefore Axis is looking for a deserializer. If you want to return an empty element, then you should define it like this:
<element name="noEchoTextProvided"> <complexType> <sequence/> </complexType> </element>

Thanks a lot for your answer! I did resolve the matter by creating a small & dirty typeMapping in the client-config.wsdd. I include it here in case anyone is interested:
<typeMapping xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; qname="ns:anyType" type="java:java.lang.String" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleSerializerFactory" deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="" />
A real piece of "art", you may agree... The typeMapping maps the Fault element (anyType) as a String. This approach seems to work, however. It's good to know also about the WSDL-changing solution you provided. It does seem a lot more elegant.
