Well, it turns out that this is a bug in IcedTea with Xerces newer than
2.9.0. I haven't tested 2.10, but 2.11 definitely fails, similar to this
bug report against 2.10:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1466

The solution (as I understand it) is to include xml-apis.jar in endorsed
if Xerces is 2.10.0 or greater. I patched locally to include it (if it
exists), and build is well into stage 2 now.
