I've had a bit more of a dig into this, this looks like the line of code that is generating the error: https://github.com/swordapp/swordapp-php-library/blob/a1ddeaac8708b7ad863538cb4811c39aeff3fbfb/swordappclient.php#L126
That block of code handles the scenario where the response status is not a 2xx response. The document returned is parsed as XML, but in your case I think the page being returned is a 'standard' Tomcat error page, that has a <hr> an then 'Apache Tomcat [version]' - but is *not* valid XHTML / XML. The error handling looks like it would report the error message, but not the $sac_status, or the $sac_response - which might be helpful to work out why the SWORD endpoint is failing.
