docbook-utils is primarily for handling SGML, and uses (Open)Jade for 
processing.  It is a known issue that the latter does not properly 
handle character entities from the newer versions (4.4+) of the DocBook 
XML DTD.  While you could work around this by using the 4.3 DTD, you 
should be using xmlto(1) for XML instead:

xmlto --with-dblatex pdf book.pdf
