all the parser does is convert a serialized CFI reference into a form that is easier to access programmatically, it does not know anything about spines, lines and cols. In fact CFI cannot be used to go to a particular line and column. The best you can do in general is go to the line that contains the start of the tag referenced by the CFI. I dont know why the ACE tool chose CFI as a way to report error locations, it is not suited for that task, at all. Its a way to reference locations in an rendered HTML tree, not HTML source.
