IMO, the fault structure should have been something like:

    <faultcode>my-error-ns:Server.TransErr.48</faultcode>
    <faultstring>Post-Auth references invalid Pre-Auth</faultstring>
    <detail />

Because "detail" is used to provided unusual details about the fault.
The SOAP schema says:

  <xs:complexType name="detail">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any namespace="##any" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="lax"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
  </xs:complexType>

which means: it should contain elements. SOAP (gladly) doesn't allow
mixed content.

There probably is a "simple" workaround using hooks. See
XML::Compile::Translate::Reader

  sub details_as_string
  {   my ($xml, $args, $path, $type, $r) = @_;
      (detail => $xml->textContent);
  }

  my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL->new('my.wsdl'
    , opts_readers =>
        { hook => [ type    => 'SOAP-ENV:detail'
                  , replace => \&detail_as_string ]
        } )

(I hope I did not make too many mistakes, because I still have to
have my first coffee this morning)
