As Eric Douglas already pointed out on the fop-dev@ mailing list (to which, maybe, you are not subscribed), this is a general usage problem, not a bug. You are providing FOP with invalid input. It looks like your stylesheet produces an HTML/XHTML hybrid, which FOP is not designed to handle. At any rate, for general usage questions, this is not the appropriate forum. Please subscribe to fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org(*) or post your question there via Nabble or some such. (preferably including a small sample that allows others to reproduce the problem)
... and here's the link I intended to include: (*) http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html
batch transition to closed for remaining resolved bugs
