I have always commented this test out in my working copy. I do not like tests that actually (also) test the exact innards of certain Xerces and Xalan versions.
I have got several copies of those two on my system, and I use them via the endorsed-dirs mechanism. Some scripts use a different copy than others, and for me FOP should just work with any recent parser and transformer. IMHO An upgrade of the jars in FOP does not solve the problem of this test file.
