Parsing a response like that will by design throw an exception containing
the status code error from the message. That, however, is not a legal SAML
status.

That's not what it's doing.

Your trace suggests the code is crashing or something inside the method to
locate the exception "type". I really don't know what it's doing, but it's
trying to do what it usually does when there's an error status in the
message.
