About twice a day we get a NullPointerException in our build:

This comes at random times, and the next build doesn't fail.
I've googled for this failure and found nothing. I have this gut feeling that this may be caused by a concurrency issue in the maven-resources-plugin.
We got this error with maven-resources-plugin 2.4.3, and now with 2.5. Our maven version is 3.0.3.
We execute the build on TeamCity with the following parameters:
Goals: install
Additional Maven command line parameters: -T 2C -e -P!releasex,integration
-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true -Dmaven.test.error.ignore=true
-Dmaven.test.haltafterfailure=false -Dmaven.junit.timeout=1000000
-DwarProject.packaging=jar
Any sort of help for solving this issue is appreciated.

Try to run maven with -X and analyze the debug output. This might help. At least for me it does very often.
Edit: This is the problematic spot:
113 public boolean filteredFileExtension( String fileName, List userNonFilteredFileExtensions )
114 {
115 List nonFilteredFileExtensions = new ArrayList( getDefaultNonFilteredFileExtensions() );
getDefault.. returns null. Did you change the nonFilteredExts somehow? Because they are populated by default here:
63 // ------------------------------------------------
64 // Plexus lifecycle
65 // ------------------------------------------------
66 public void initialize()
67 throws InitializationException
68 {
69 // jpg,jpeg,gif,bmp,png
70 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions = new ArrayList( 5 );
71 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions.add( "jpg" );
72 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions.add( "jpeg" );
73 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions.add( "gif" );
74 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions.add( "bmp" );
75 this.defaultNonFilteredFileExtensions.add( "png" );
76 }
Since you are building in parallel, this might be a race condition. You should really raise an issue at MRESOURCES.
