It's hard to tell without seeing your XML and XSD files, but I 
suspect that the newer version of Xerces bundled with b9, is catching 
something the old version missed. It's also possible you have used 
something in the schema that one of the errata changed. Try 
validating just with Xerces without JDOM anywhere in the picture.
