The error message that the parser produces regarding the invalid content model, is generated when the parser validates the content of the Root element. That's why you are getting the line/column no of that element. If you check both test cases, the parser is generating an invalid content error using the same line/column no. In the first test case, the parser has no idea of element X and so it generates an extra error message. In the second case, element D is already known, and so the parser does not generate an error message, and the error message is only generated when validating the content of Root. So, I would not consider this as a bug.
