I haven't seen this error before, but here's the code I used (the 
PipelineAuthenticator class was what I used as an example, from memory) 
- I used the Cocoon DOMUtil to create the auth response, hope it's of 
some use :

public class SimpleAuthenticator implements Authenticator, Contextualizable
{
....
....
public AuthenticationResult authenticate(HandlerConfiguration configuration,
SourceParameters parameters)
throws ProcessingException
{
...
....
Document doc = DOMUtil.createDocument();

final Element root = doc.createElementNS(null, "authentication");

AuthenticationResult result;

if (loggedIn == true)
{
doc.appendChild(root);
Element element = doc.createElementNS(null, "ID");
root.appendChild(element);
Text text = doc.createTextNode(userID);
element.appendChild(text);
element = doc.createElementNS(null, "data");
root.appendChild(element);
text = doc.createTextNode("Successful login");
element.appendChild(text);
result = new AuthenticationResult(true, doc);
}
else
{
doc.appendChild(root);
Element element = doc.createElementNS(null, "data");
root.appendChild(element);
Text text = doc.createTextNode("Invalid userid password combination");
element.appendChild(text);
result = new AuthenticationResult(false, doc);
}
return result;
}
...
...
}
