Does "if I choose xml as ouput instead, everything looks fine" mean you get a well-formed FO document? If so, save it to disk and run it through the commandline FOP application. This won't catch all problems due to bugs in FOP, but you'll get error messages for most. There has been various attempts at providing a DTD and a XSchema for an FO file containing only features understood by FOP, search the fop-dev archive at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&r=1&w=2# which you can use for additional validation (insert a DOCTYPE into the FO file and feed it to a Xerces sample program, for example the word counter).
