Apparently I noticed this a while ago. The source has the following comment:

    // We have a problem here. Xerces gets this right,
    // but Crimson and possibly other parsers don't properly
    // report these entities, or perhaps just not tag them
    // with [dtd] like they're supposed to.
    public void startEntity(String name) {
      if (name.equals("[dtd]")) inExternalSubset = true;
    }


    public void endEntity(String name) {
      if (name.equals("[dtd]")) inExternalSubset = false;
    }

In fact, the debugger shows these methods aren't called at all by 
Crimson for the external DTD subset. The only solution I can think of at 
the moment is to simply not add the internal DTD subset when using 
Crimson and there is an external DTD subset.
