Any number of things.

First and foremost, there is a possibility of a syntactic error in the
stylesheets we ship.  Something like this:

  <xsl:temlate match="foo">
    <strong>misspelled "template"</strong>
  </xsl:template>

Second, some stylesheets are generated programmatically on the fly.
See PatternStylesheetResolver.  This may produce broken stylesheets,
if certain customizable parameters are not set correctly.

You can try changing the XSLT processor to get a better error message.
Some of them give more informative messages than others.  The way you
select an XSLT processor has changed a couple of times in recent
memory.  I don't remember offhand which is the most current way of
doing this.  Could be a parameter you set via "ccm set".  Could be an
environment variable.
