I wish there were more details.

Can you send me a document that causes this error? I can't reproduce it.
Also, what version of xsltproc are you using?
<<<<<

I don't know what Patrick was using, but I get the same results using XSL
1.52.2 with xsltproc (libxslt 1.0.19 and libxml2-2.4.23) on RedHat 7.2. The
problem only occurs when the XML file contains <mediaobject> tags. The
problem goes away if I use an older (pre1.51) version of DocBook XSL. I
submitted a bug against libxslt to Daniel.
