I don't think josm is including a private copy of xerces. So it will use 
the one provided by sun.

Using -Djaxp.debug=1 it prints the used factory. Here it's
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

and that one seams to have a bug in the implementation.

It's this version:
java.exe com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.Version
Xerces-J 2.6.2

Supplying the xerceximpl.jar in the classpath causes this version to be 
used:
Xerces-J 2.9.1


I suggest filing a bug report on sun and until fixed require a recent 
xerces implementation available on the host.

This problem is very likely affecting all Java-tools working on osm-data 
with this sax-parser.
