XOR Gateway Stuck

As Christine has said, use a script task to merge the two flows.

It should be noted that it is actually possible to have multiple inbound flows to an XOR but, if the flow moves through that XOR more than once, it will get "stuck" as you have discovered.

It could be argued that the behaviour is actually a bug, as the BPMN 2.0 specification indicates that an uncontrolled merge (ie using a script task to merge) should provide the same behaviour as a controlled merge (ie using an XOR) - but I doubt we'll see that change anytime soon.
