Your "bookinfo/subtitle" path is taken relative to the current context node,
which is the current chunk being processed. That should probably be
"//bookinfo/subtitle".

In user.footer.content, you should be able to use something like this:
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:text>......../?</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:text>?....</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>

Normally the index page is named "index.html" if book is the root element.
The template named "recursive-chunk-filename" in chunk-common.xsl selects
the filename. It can be changed with a dbhtml filename processing
instruction, or by changing the value of the root.filename parameter whose
default value is "index". But if book is the root element, it should not
get the id value. Is the book inside a set, by any chance? If not, I
wonder how the file is being named for the id.
The template that generates the chunk file and the template that generates
the link to it should both use the same recursive-chunk-filename template to
get the name. Is there some customization of chunk file naming being used?
Do you get the same results with the stock DocBook html stylesheet?
