It cannot be classified as a bug, because the SOAP spec does not require
xsi:type.  Apache SOAP was originally written to require it, though, so
it has problems when it is not included.  The current code base
(available, e.g., in the nightly builds) has some code to help with the
exact case of xsi:null (or xsi:nil) being specified without an xsi:type.
If you are not using a nightly build, you might want to try one to see
whether it works for you.

BTW, there *may* be a bug in the code generating the message: the 2001
XML Schema specifies xsi:nil instead of xsi:null.  .NET is known to have
this bug.
