This is a known issue, and the problem is with FOP,
not Saxon or Xalan.  Putting the id on the fo:page-sequence
should work, and it does in XEP and PassiveTeX, but
not FOP.  I think Norm had an idea of how to fix
this, so perhaps it will be in the next release.
There is a workaround in the docbook-apps archive.
