Aha, I have attached the offending Java file.
Here is the offending snippet:

/**
 * Bean class to handle our extensions to the Struts <action> tag.
 * @exclude
 */

If I escape the open-angle-bracket as so...

/**
 * Bean class to handle our extensions to the Struts &lt;action> tag.
 * @exclude
 */

...then the java.util.MissingResourceException no longer occurs.

Note that snippets like this

...<exceptions>...
...<forward>...

don't cause an exception in the first place.

So it seems to be related to the link-resembling sequence

...<a...

Here is the error I was getting:
