I am using CXF 2.1 generated clients to consume web services written in .NET. 
The application previously used Apache Axis1 (v 1.4) to consume these same
web services and I did not encounter this issue.  Unfortunately, I have no
control over the content or structure of the WSDL's so I am hoping the issue
does lie there.

When calling our login web service, the server will return "error" messages
embedded in the soap payload that I can use to build Java Exceptions.  With
Axis i was easily able to catch org.apache.axis.AxisFault exceptions and
parse its "faultDetails" to retrieve the information I need.

When calling these same services with CXF generated clients, I recieve a
javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException but I am unable to find the error
details anywhere in that object graph.

Below is the Inbound payload CXF logs after a failed login attempt.  All I
want/need is access to the data wrapped in the <detail> tag.  I was able to
do this quite easily with Axis with no special configuration.  What am I
missing that is preventing me from getting this information out of
CXF/SOAPFaultException
