The problem here is the way that values are returned out of a simpleXML element. Reading a parameter such as "$response->xml->customerProfileId" still returns a simpleXML element by default, but the $transaction->customerProfileId is looking for a string.

The resolution to this is simply to cast these particular XML elements as strings. You could do this either when reading them from the XML or when entering them into the transaction object. Personally, I would recommend doing it when you read them out of the XML. It would just be a simple change as shown in the three lines below:

 $new_customer_id = (string) $response->xml->customerProfileId;
 $paymentProfileId = (string) $response->xml->customerPaymentProfileIdList->numericString;
 $customerAddressId = (string) $response->xml->customerShippingAddressIdList->numericString;

Closing this one as no additional response.
