The prefix customization copied the chapter template from
the 1.60 stylesheets.  That template put the chapter
id on the fo:page-sequence element, which FOP did not
understand, so it could not find that id to assign a
page number in the TOC.  Version 1.61 of the stylesheets
moved the chapter id to the first fo:block in the chapter,
fixing the missing page number in the TOC.

See the match="chapter" template in fo/component.xsl
in the 1.62.4 stylesheets to see how the id location
was changed.  So the customization file needs to
be updated.

Regarding the missing page numbers in the footer, I think
the footer.content template in the customization needs
more cases.  It seems to be written for double.sided
output, and doesn't include cases for all the page types
you might want it for.
