Thanks Nick! <olink> vs. <link xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink";> is indeed what makes the difference. I was I guess mistakenly expecting them to work in the same way.
In my example, your solution works fine both using xsltproc, fop, and the stylesheets directly and also using docbkx-tools with <olink targetdoc="book" targetptr="chapter">link to book's chapter</olink>, but not with <link> having xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink";. I guess the workaround is then to transform all the links with olink roles into <olink> before processing the output.
