TransformerConfigurationException when reading faces-config.xml

I'm attaching a WAR to reproduce this problem. The name of the WAR is that same as the one in JBAS-8908, but it is quite different in that it WAR includes Facelets 1.1.15.B1 and ajax4jsf. You can work around the problem if you set
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.validateXml</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

You can also work around the problem if you add "system" as a dependency of com.sun.jsf-impl.

However, with the context param set to true and without "system", you get this classloading error:

It has been verified that the TCCL is properly set when ConfigManger calls getTransformer(). Also, several attempts have been made to add other dependencies besides "system".
