I'm not sure why XYZ would not work. It's possible that the solution is
actually OK but the error arises in the
ExodusII::write_discontinuous_exodusII() output?
I don't think we have much testing of the XYZ FEType in libmesh or in apps
which use libmesh, so it's possible that i regressed.

And you are using libmesh master? This is interesting, as we are discussing
a similar error right now over on
https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/issues/1697 that might be related,
although I suspect yours might have more to do with DG sparsity patterns.
