I ran across a FO file containing the following fragment (it took about 10 minutes to cull all the stuff from the file which didn't affect the result...)

<fo:block>
  <fo:inline>
    <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute"
                        height="20.0px" width="15.0px"
                        left="166.0px" top="1.0px">
      <fo:block>foo</fo:block>
    </fo:block-container>
  </fo:inline>
</fo:block>

When I pass this through FOP 0.93, I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.InlineLayoutManager cannot be cast to 
org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.BlockLevelLayoutManager

        at 
org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.LineLayoutManager.getNextKnuthElements(LineLayoutManager.java:606)

As far as I can tell by reading the spec there's nothing invalid about the fragment. I have strict validation turned on in FOP and it isn't reporting anything illegal either (it has complained a lot in the last day or two, I've been gradually filtering the FO files to make sure everything is convertible to PDF.)

Has anyone seen this exception before? Is it a bug in FOP, or is it solveable by filtering the FO file to repair it somehow?
