Jason, after some tests I found out that this only fails with JDK 1.4.2
without any overridden endorsed libraries [1] in place. It doesn't
happen with an unpatched JDK 1.5.0_03, for example. I always use the
latest Xerces and Xalan version which is why I didn't stumble upon the
problem when I changed the way SVG is parsed in FOP Trunk recently. I'll
try to track down the problem because this is still a little suspicious.
But since the XML parser and XSLT implementation shipped with JDK 1.4
are known to have issues I suggest you replace those in your JDK
installation. Despite the problem at hand it is (IMO) generally a good
idea to do.

To replace the JARs:
Create a directory called "endorsed" under the jre/lib directory of your
JDK installation (applies to all versions >= 1.4.0) and put all the
XML-related JARs shipped with FOP in there, i.e. "xml-apis", "xercesImpl",
"xalan" and "serializer".
