Well, I don't think RC1 is going to fix the problem you're seeing.  It's 
not in our code, it's a missing method exception on Xalan.  The only 
time I've seen that is when a modestly older (2-3 years) version hanging 
around.

The only thing I can think of, that I changed, that is even remotely 
related to this is a parser feature.  In the IdP's internal.xml file, 
comment out the <property name="builderFeatures"> element and try a restart.
