XML causing crash on InDesign open

I've created an IDML (InDesign Markup Language - it's an XML format) document with XML/XSLT

The document will open, but seems to crash with certain data in an XML story. For example, a story with the following data will open perfectly:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<idPkg:Story xmlns:idPkg="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/idml/1.0/packaging"
             DOMVersion="6.0">
   <Story Self="uf6" AppliedTOCStyle="n" TrackChanges="false" StoryTitle="$ID/"
          AppliedNamedGrid="n">
      <StoryPreference OpticalMarginAlignment="false" OpticalMarginSize="12" FrameType="TextFrameType"
                       StoryOrientation="Horizontal"
                       StoryDirection="LeftToRightDirection"/>
      <InCopyExportOption IncludeGraphicProxies="true" IncludeAllResources="false"/>
     
      <Table HeaderRowCount="2" FooterRowCount="0" ColumnCount="7"
             AppliedTableStyle="TableStyle/TableCTM"

However, If I add the following <Row> and <Cell> elements [immediately after the last </Cell> element in the working document, I get a crash:

         </Cell>

Can someone shine a light is what is wrong with the above? They're all generated with the same XSLT script, so I don't think it can be an issue of malformed XML, but who knows? I know the BodyRowCount is off - it works fine with (say) 2 header rows and 2 body rows - but not 3 body rows. With some other data, it will work fine with 10s or 20s of body rows

Anyhow, all help is appreciated!
