I do not believe it is possible for this error to occur.

Because of:
"If $relative is an absolute URI reference, it is returned unchanged."
"If $relative or $base is not a valid xs:anyURI an error is raised [err:FORG0002].",

both $relative and $base are guarenteed to be valid URIs before the resolution
process starts, and relative is guarenteed to be a relative URI.
In which case, resolution cannot fail.
