At first I thought that the problem in two Xerces jars. But in this
case, the same command in my environment should give same result,
because the set of loaded plugins depend only on command. In my case,
the same command succeeds with the second attempt.

This is very similar to the bugs arising from incorrect thread
synchronization. Perhaps the two threads simultaneously attempt to
load Xerces..
It seems to me there is some dependence on the current system load. At
load average = 5 chance encounter with this error greater than at load
average = 0.5
