You are right.
We've fixed part of this in 2.1dev and are working on it now.
Xalan doesn't throw RuntimeException anymore in this case and things are
getting better.
If you don't want to upgrade to 2.1dev you can apply an interim patch for
2.0 that fixes the Xalan RuntimeException by cascading it. It's in the
archives of the list.
