The text renderer errors out when it encounters a positioned block-container

This isn't a show stopper in any way since I can render text without FOP. I added a positioned block-container to my .FO. Now the text renderer bombs on that page. Is there any way to include a positioned block-container that does not crash the text renderer? Chuck value: FOP 0.20.2 OS Windows
