Steps to reproduce:

1 - fetch this DocBook sample ( from ubuntu's launchpad ) :
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18917141/sample.xml

2 - xsltproc --output sample.fo --stringparam use.extensions 0 /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.74.0/fo/docbook.xsl sample.xml

3 - Edit the sample.fo file, to chage the path of the included svg :
<imagedata fileref="/path/to/a/svg/image/on/your/system.svg" ...

4 - fop sample.fo -pdf sample.pdf
( errors on ouput and pdf file doesn't display the image )

Steps to resolve :

1 - Edit /usr/bin/fop
insert on line 250 : LOCALCLASSPATH="$LOCALCLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/batik/xml-apis-ext.jar"

Dirty, but did the job.
