Thank you very much for trying this out. Unfortunatly I can't reproduce 
it: I never get a correctly working first bookmark.

If that's the case then the worst case is real: a bug in FOP which 
occurs with correct input but not always, thus is not easily reproduced.

Would you say the bookmark links in
  http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/print/vimxml_fop.fo
are correct? Then I would simply have to file a bug report to FOP and 
wait for the next release.

I still see the same error.

A plain vanilla run also brings an erratic first bookmark pointing to 
the blank page before the TOC.
I'm not yet sure what's the difference between your and my "stock run". 
I get the same error as with my customization layer (before which a 
print filter is run).
