OK, turns out this is a bug in the DTD version of DocBook 5.0, starting with b6 and included in b7. I should have noticed that this content model looked bogus:

"(info?,EMPTY)"

A content model is either EMPTY, or is has something optional. This should be just "(info?)". As written, it expects a required element named <EMPTY> but none is declared in the DTD.

Could you please bug report this on the SourceForge site?

Here's an even simpler case that gives the same error message:
