You may want to provide the document id (name) for diagnostics:

std::auto_ptr<message> m1 = parse_message(
  sdmpMessage, 
  "message.xml"
  xml_schema::flags::dont_initialize, 
  props);

Then the error will be:

message.xml:11:196 error: This type of attribute cannot have an empty value

Not at the moment. This error message is propagated from the Xerces-C++
validator so we will need to address it there. I've added it to the TODO
list and hopefully we will be able to fix this for the next release of 
Xerces-C++.
