GML Schema/Microsoft XML Parser incompatibility

I wonder if you could help me with a problem I am having

My problem is as follows:

We are using Microsoft XML Parser 4.0 Service Pack 1 to validate incoming data
using the GML Schema version 2.1.1. (see bottom of post for schema). When we try
to load the schema into the parser we get the following error:

file:///c:/program
files/nfcdd/formschema/gml-geometry.xsd#/schema[1]/complexType[position() = 7
and @name = 'LinearRingMemberType']
Invalid particle derivation by restriction.
Base type : '{http://www.opengis.net/gml}GeometryAssociationType'
Derived type : '{http://www.opengis.net/gml}LinearRingMemberType'

We have recently switched to Microsoft XML 4.0 Service Pack 1 from XML 4.0 RTM
to solve a different bug and in doing so a new one has arisen.
I have read and understood a post from Andrew Dent convering a similar problem
but the solution suggested by Jeni Tennison involving the
use of substitution groups did not seem to work in this particular case. (See
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2002Mar/0200.html)

Thank you for your help.
