The system is in a complex environment. The issue did not crop up in testing.

It turns out one of the co-hosted applications had installed xalan.jar in the applications server's lib folder.

Linking that file into the idp.home/edit-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/ then rebuilding the WAR is allowing it to work.

Agreed, seems to be working on the test system.

On both of these non-supported, non-standard configurations, I would like to run tests.

Thoughts on (us) running automated tests with both of these deviations?
