[This answer is definitely going into the FAQ, Dave. :-)]

You need to tell nsgmls where to find the "SGML declaration of XML", so
that it can handle those entities.  This is usually kept in the file
xml.dcl.  However, its location varies from system to system, so
you'll need to find it.

(On a RedHat 6.2 Linux system) the following is more of what you want:

   nsgmls -wxml /usr/doc/jade-1.2.1/pubtext/xml.dcl sample-docbook.xml

(I'm not sure why you're adding -v above, since that tells nsgmls to
print out the version number.  I've added -wxml so that it prints out
warnings about non-xml constructs.)  If you're not on RedHat, you'll
need to find xml.dcl.
