Sure. I had similar issues in the past when starting to request
a namespace-aware parser from the factory (in order to "do it right"
i.e. I wanted to avoid failing tests because of hypothetical
inappropriate parsers).

IIRC the situation is as follows:

- - In absence of ParserDetails.ini XML::SAX falls back to providing
  XML::SAX::PurePerl *only* when the parser has been requested
  without specific properties.

- - ParserDetails.ini is *not* set up on automated / unattended installs
  of XML::SAX (like when a smoke tester's environment pulls it in
  as dependency of your module)

Unfortunately I have no clue about this might be fixed (apart from changing
the installation behavior of XML::SAX which might for a reason be
as it is)
