I can't speak to your exact error below, except that you might want to try
using an absolute XPath ("/test/foo") rather than a relative ("test/foo").
One of the ozone guys forwarded me this code snippet:

    protected static final NodeList getNodesByXPath(Node node, String
path) throws Exception {
        XPathSupportDefault xpath_support = new XPathSupportDefault();
        XPath xpath = new XPath(xpath_support,null);
        XPathProcessorImpl parser = new XPathProcessorImpl(xpath_support);
        xpath.installFunction("document", new
org.apache.xalan.xslt.FuncDocument());
        parser.initXPath(xpath,path,null);
        XObject xobject = xpath.execute(xpath_support,node,null);
        return xobject.nodeset();
    }

and it works like a champ for me.
