thanks for your investigation and test case. > Careful tracing of the bug lead me to the following minimal source case > and root cause pf the problem seems to be this texlive-lang-portuguese > package. I suspect the file: > /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel-portuges/portuges.ldf Since docbook.sty is hacking around in lots of corners, and hasn't probably been updated to current babel, please check first whether this is a genuine babel bug, that is whether it happens with babel-portugues but *not* using third-party modules like docbook.sty/dblatex. I tried to dig into the dblatex code, but it is so painfully convoluted that I don't see the real chance to go to the bottom of it. If you can reproduce the bug with a plain latex + babel-portugues *only* setup, I will forward it to the authors/babel team.
