Same thing suddenly started to happen on my side:

<Contributor>
    <SequenceNumber>1</SequenceNumber>
    <ContributorRole>A01</ContributorRole>
    ...
</Contributor>
<Contributor>
    <SequenceNumber>2</SequenceNumber>
    <ContributorRole>E03</ContributorRole>
    ...
</Contributor>

A01 is good but E03 is NaN.

Managed to make it work with this quick fix if it helps:

const parser = new XMLParser({
  numberParseOptions: {
    // skip if start with E
      skipLike: /^E/
  }
});
