Hi Alistair Without seeing the cert it's difficult to tell.
According to the schema the X509CertificateArray type within X509DataType is of type base64Binary. So your error is coming from org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.JavaBase64Holder in the public method lex() at line 77. I apologise that the error message is not very helpful - there's even a note in the code right there to say we should update it when we get time. But the reason you're getting this is that it is unable to decode the String that's being passed in. JavaBase64Holder.lex() simply converts the String to UTF-8 bytes and then passes those bytes into Base64.decode() which must be returning null for you to see this error. Base64.decode() is a public static method. So if I were you I'd just write a quick test harness to get the String that's causing you problems, convert it to UTF-8 bytes and call Base64.decode() yourself. Then you can just step through the code and see which line is returning null. Then you'll know what in particular it is objecting to (there are several places in Base64.decode() where it can return null). If you do this make sure that the String is correct when you set it up i.e. that you convert it from whatever byte format you are using for input (a File, an InputStream ...) using the correct encoding (usually UTF-8 for XML - but you might be overriding it). Otherwise your String will be wrong and then the UTF-8 bytes will be wrong which will throw you off.
