Need help deciphering NullPointerException from FOP

This NullPointerException appears to be coming from with the FOP internals, but I'm unsure of what the actual cause is. I was not receiving this problem until I recently switched from XSLT to XSLTC, and the problem does not always arise. I'm caching both my compiled templates, and my drivers,

The vote portion relates to standardizing on a name for the Development Version. I would like this to be site-wide (and maybe I'm just the guy to do it), but for now I'm only referring to changing references on FOP/Download. (I understand it doesn't make sense to change the tag in CVS).
