I don't think you're doing anything wrong -- I think it may be that
the XSLT engine you're using (Xalan?) has a bug.

I couldn't reproduce your error using either xsltproc or Saxon. Both
generate the navigation links correctly. For output from Saxon using
your sample XML source file and the current version of the
stylesheets, take a look at:

  http://docbook.sourceforge.net/outgoing/sample/

It seems like current versions of Xalan may not work reliably with
current versions of the DocBook stylesheets -- you should try with
Saxon or xsltproc instead.

Btw, there is one validity error in your XML source document: you have
the the same value, "background", for id attributes on two different
Section elements -- those should have unique id's instead:
"background1" and "background2" or whatever.
