Actually, I need to make a correction:
Saxon < 8.7.1 will still work, because the method that
XMLBeans is calling now did in fact exist, in 8.6.1 at least. So people who
build from source and use Saxon, don't need to redownload
it.
Thanks,
Radu

I
have checked this in at revision 469605. Thanks for the
patch!
However, I wasn't able to also upgrade Saxon to version 8.8, at least not
in the build script.
I
am getting the following exception, for example when running the XQueryXPath
sample (cd samples/XQueryXPath; ant build run):
java.lang.ClassCastException

So I would say that right
now Saxon 8.7.3 is the reccomended version to use with XMLBeans. Saxon 8.8 works
too, but you may run into the exception above. Anything < 8.7.1 will not work
anymore (because Saxon deleted one method that XMLBeans was
calling).

I ran into the same need for saxon8.8 as is documented in:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-287
From the saxon release notes, is looks like anything > 8.3 saxon is probably broken.
Attached are the necessary changes working, if not well tested, against the svn trunk @465816. It would not be backwards compatible with <8.3 saxon versions since the dom-wrapper class didn't exist.
I'd appreciate it if somebody could open the enhancement request. (in my case, it is needed for interop with xmldb)
