I reproduced this one, but based on the stack trace Crimson is 
(incorrectly) signaling an error before XOM ever sees the parsed 
document. I don't see any plausible way to work around this. There's not 
a lot XOM can do if the underlying SAX parser incorrectly labels a 
well-formed document as malformed. :-(
