This is a bug in the stylesheet that only appears with DocBook5. A
glossary can contain any number of preamble elements like paragraphs and
lists before the glossary entries. The glosslist element was included in
the preamble set, although it probably doesn't make much sense in that
context, but it is permitted. In DocBook4, at least one glossdiv or
glossentry was required after any preamble. The stylesheet relied on that
content model to select the preceding siblings preamble material.
In DocBook5, an empty glossary is permitted, because a glossary can be
built automatically from glossterms in the document. In effect, your
glossary had a preamble (the glosslist) but was otherwise empty, and the
stylesheet wasn't expecting that. So the stylesheet needs to be updated to
handle the new content model.
Can you please file a bug report on the SourceForge site so this doesn't
get lost? Thanks.

The glossary chunk looks fine.
Investigated this further.
In my document (this one happens to be an article and not a book, but I
had the same problem), I had the glossentry elements wrapped in a
glosslist. When I simply added a single glossentry *after* the glosslist,
all of the items (both in glosslist and outside) appeared in the XHTML
output. I then removed the glosslist wrapper, and all of the entries
appeared in the output.
The glosslist wasn't serving any purpose, so I don't need it. But TDG v5
says that glossary can contain glosslist:

http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/glossary.html
Is this a bug?
Thanks again,
Brett
