I ended up implementing this “solution” in octave-io 2.4.6-3. So in
effect it no longer relies on libapache-poi-java + libxmlbeans-java for
reading XLSX files (fortunately octave-io has another, less efficient,
backend for reading XLSX files).

As a consequence, downgrading the severity of this bug.
