Had the same problem here, last time. It fails only when the namespace is at the root element. Never did solve the problem. In the end, we just decided not to support namespaces.
You should have no problems if the namespace declaration is under the root element. Can't remember if the problem is from xerces or xalan. Did some testing last time, but couldn't remember the result.
