changes.
This document validates properly with these commands:

Did I do something wrong in this very basic setup, or is there
something wrong with a docbook related package?
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
