XStream adds the id attribute to any element in this mode, unless the
instance's type has been declared as immutable. Actually this is possible
for type "Class", maybe XStream should do it for Class by default anyway:
xstream.addImmutableType(Class.class);

No, it is thrown because something references the entire list, which has no
representation in XML.

Will not make a difference.
