Well, there is an extra step for PDF relative to HTML of course:
XSL-FO.  With current Red Hat Linux distributions you'll get
passivetex when using xmlto.

You could generate XSL-FO with 'xmlto fo -m ...' and try a different
XSL-FO processor than passivetex, to eliminate that and see if that's
the cause.
