I think some number is getting localized yes.

The first line I get is:

(xmlroff:62351): libfo-CRITICAL **: Expression evaluation error: Expression
not completely evaluated: ',736pt'

I am guessing this is a fractional point font size. In most non-English
speaking countries this would be represented with a , (comma) whereas English
expects a . (dot/period), this also affects interpretation from a programming
point of view.

A quick sifting through the sources of xmlroff did not bring me further on
where to add in a debugging printf.
