ParseException with nested components in the metadata section (XML SBoM)

Affected version: 9.0.4.
OS: Linux

Minimal example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.3" serialNumber="urn:uuid:173bebbd-0cea-401f-ae32-49e0ccebf575" version="1">
    <metadata>
        <component type="application" bom-ref="path+file:///home/user/some/local/dep#0.0.1">
            <name>omnect-cli</name>
            <components>
                <component type="library" bom-ref="path+file:///home/user/some/local/dep#0.0.2">
                    <name>dep</name>
                    <version>0.0.2</version>
                </component>
            </components>
        </component>
    </metadata>
</bom>

If we have no nested components, the SBoM can be parsed, i.e., the following works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.3" serialNumber="urn:uuid:173bebbd-0cea-401f-ae32-49e0ccebf575" version="1">
    <metadata>
        <component type="application" bom-ref="path+file:///home/user/some/local/dep#0.0.1">
            <name>omnect-cli</name>
            <components></components>
        </component>
    </metadata>
</bom>

Reproduce the minimal XML with XmlParser.parse, then inspect MetadataDeserializer.java at line 53 and the parsing call in XmlParser.java at lines 99-101. Compare it with the empty-components example; done means the nested component in metadata parses successfully without the reported ParseException.
