No it isn't, but I doubt this is your problem as you don't seem to be
trying to access the DOM Nodes from multiple threads, let alone
concurrently. (Is there any good reason why you need to serialise and
re-parse between each thread?)

A SAXParseException is generally what it says on the tin, caused by
faulty syntax in the XML document being parsed. It is conceivable that
minidom's serialisation code at the second-thread-output stage is
producing something wrong; we'd have to have a look at the string the
third thread is trying to parse to find out what.
