Having thought about this, I think that this is not a valid bug. The correct exception is raised. The textual description contained in the exception cannot be expected to be identical across platforms. As for the column number issue, it looks like expat (which cpython uses) is counting from zero, where the java parser is counting from column 1. Both are valid interpretations, but I consider the java one more appropriate, particularly on jython, since there is no column zero when you open the file in a text editor, for example.
