All of the above seems ok to me.

I think here is the problem. Probably you allow other values in your os 
attribute. When you profile it with this value, the section with 
os="leopard" disappears.

Just to show you what I mean, I wrote a small test file, similar to your 
example:

-------[ article.xml ]------------
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0">
  <title>Small test</title>
  <section os="leopard" xml:id="anID">
    <info>
      <title>Leopard</title>
    </info>
    <para>blah</para>
  </section>
  <section xml:id="other">
    <info>
      <title>Another Section</title>
    </info>
    <para>Please refer to <xref linkend="anID"/></para>
  </section>
  <section os="foo">
     <info>
        <title>The Foo Section</title>
     </info>
     <para>...</para>
  </section>
</article>
----------------------------------

Then I run it with the following line ($DB contains the path to the 
DocBook XSL stylesheets):

$ xsltproc --output article-foo.xml \
          --stringparam profile.os "foo" \
          $DB/profiling/profile.xsl article.xml

In this case, the section with xml:id="anID" disappears and therefor you 
get a validation error.

A solution could be to insert the parent para with an os="leopard" like 
this:

 <para os="leopard">Please refer to <xref linkend="anID"/>.</para>

Did you tried this?


Hope that helps,
Tom
