Unable to test an archive with comments in web.xml

I had errorneous in-container-web.xml, so parsing it failed with ContainerDeployController.forEachManagedDeployment .
Successively, Arquillian threw the exception below.
To reproduce, you can run Tomcat remote container from the commit
[tomcat e7572f3] Some progress with ArquillianServletRunner
from https://github.com/OndraZizka/arquillian .
