  No idea, it is not a normal behaviour. The same document will work
properly if you have an XML catalog properly installed or access to the
internet and that the docbook resources are available.

  You definitely have an installation problem. It's impossible to diagnostic
without more informations. Check that your catalog are working properly

  What are the error message ? what are the last lines of strace (or
truss on Solaris) pointing to ? 
  Try --nonet to see if it's related to the network code fetching the
remote resources.
  And as Bob said, make sure you're using the latest versions
