Hello, apparently dpkg had quite some nasty bugs (#675613, #676061, #676062, #676107, #676118, #676122), making it hard to deal with anything sgml-related. This should be fixed in dpkg 1.16.4, so please upgrade your chroots. Please also give back debian-installer if it failed to build on your arch.
I'm also thanking and cc-ing Helmut, who performed the analysis above. Mraw, KiBi.
