I think either of us doesn't understand ;-) Since the service provider essentially replaced the SOAP string type with its own 'StringType' simple type that "VEMPTY" text content can appear in any element. Hence, I need to globally replace that text in every SOAP message - regardless of which XML element it is used with. That's why I concluded that I can't use the standard TransformationFeature.
I was also checking whether CXF allowed to register custom deserializers/mapper for a given type (i.e. from that custom XML StringType to Java String) but I haven't found anything yet.
