Actually, I missed the part in your message where you mentioned the
keep.relative.image.uris parameter. If keep.relative.image.uris is set to
1, then each relative path is *not* altered to account for xml:base
attributes. For FO output, that parameter should be set to zero, except
under unusual circumstances. But with it set to 1, your fo error should
indicate that first-steps is not in the graphics path at all. I'm a little
confused by that error.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Problems with XInclude and images
In your ant build file, what process is being used to resolve the
XIncludes? Is there a separate step that creates a temporary XML file with
XIncludes resolved before the stylesheet is applied? If so, then you can
examine the xml:base attributes in it to see if those are correct. If they
are not correct, then the XInclude processor has a problem. If they are
correct, then the stylesheet has a problem.
