This is odd. I use xmllint (libxml2 version 2.6.30) on Windows XP and there
are no problems with "%3A" characters. The DTD modules resolve just fine:

c:\doctypes\docbook\catalog-test>xmllint --noout --valid test.xml

Here is my catalog (catalog.xml):

<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
 <system systemId="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";
	  uri="file:///c:/doctypes/docbook/4.5/docbookx.dtd"/>
</catalog>

And test.xml looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";>
<book>
  <title>Book Title</title>
  <chapter>
    <title>Chapter title</title>
    <para>Text</para>
  </chapter>
</book>
