This is a known bug with Xerces-C parser.  You'll need to download a recent
build from xml.apache.org.  You may also need to rebuild Xalan with the
latest sources.  For the latest build, see:

It's a C++-specific bug.

This is the #1 or #2 bug reported on both the Xerces and Xalan dev lists.
I'm surprised nothing turned up in the archives.
