That's a bit harsh. Why can't they specify specific bug numbers at the
time of writing the doc so that users can always check if the bugs have
been fixed in a later release or not.

More over, surely they are not saying it's a bug in the API, are they?
They are just asking the implementation to be replaced by a new one. If
you do want to replace the implementation, then use techniques described
here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.html#newInstance()
The third options there sounds like a good one to use in your case.
