It's a validation message from Xerces. You know that
XEP 2.7x preprocesses its character stream to insert
a DTD reference for the validating parser. The
procedure is somewhat fragile: looks like it chokes
in your case.

O-o-ps - you should not call CharacterStream from FOInputSource.
As explained in the documentation, this method is redefined
to handle DTD insertion, and is not designed for direct usage.
If you insist on DTD validation, you have transform your string
into a byte array in UTF-8, and then feed it as a ByteArrayInputStream
to setByteStream() method of FOInputSource.
However, I believe that DTD-based validation is unsafe in this context.
I suggest to turn validation off, and pass input data from a normal
org.xml.sax.InputSource, rather than FOInputSource. See
doc/samples/SAXInput/ for a code sample.
