Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the full xom source, modified
XIncludeDriver.java, and ran ant java to generate a new xom-samples.jar.
I copied it to my docbook toolchain, replacing the original
xom-samples.jar. XOM serialization generates UTF-8 encoding now. Makes
for much better DocBook processing from there.
P.S. The build wasn't quite that simple: it failed at first, complaining
that it couldn't find jaxen-1.1.3-src. I downloaded that from
http://jaxen.codehaus.org/releases.html. Thankfully that made the build
happy.

I just tried to process a couple of UTF-8 documents with XIncludeDriver
(using XOM 1.2.6), and there were no errors. Unencodable characters were
escaped as numeric character references in the output.
The encoding is hardcoded in XIncludeDriver.java:
Serializer outputter = new Serializer(System.out, "ISO-8859-1");
This may be a little unfortunate (and not too hard to fix), but
XIncludeDriver is just a sample application after all.
