Indeed, the source is not being read correctly.  It is being read not as 
ascii but as ISO-8859-1 (Latin1).  The lowercase ü character is encoded in 
UTF-8 as hex sequence C3 BC.  The C3 and BC characters do not exist in ASCII 
encoding, but they do in ISO-8859-1 as A-tilde and fraction 1/4.  If the 
source is interpreted as ISO-8859-1, then that byte sequence would be 
interpreted as those two characters, not one.  In the ISO named entities, C3 
is à and BC is ¼ which is what you are seeing in your output 
for ü.   (You can see these entity declarations in the DocBook 4.5 DTD 
distribution in the "ent" directory files.)

I'm not able to duplicate your output using xsltproc and any combination of 
encodings or xsltproc options.  I did not think xsltproc could even output 
named entities like à but I could be wrong.

Something is going wrong with the parser reading your files.  I would 
examine your xsltproc setup, try xsltproc on another system that is 
independent of the first, and try Saxon 6 as an alternative processor.
