no since I was not aware of this inclusion. Thanks for clarifying me this.

If these options are included by default by a2x for generating the pdf
output then the problem is not in not including those two files but
viceversa is the automatic inclusion of those files that create the
problem (so it could be a bug...).
Since the problem arises when using a2x in one command not when
converting the generated docbook into pdf via dblatex...

I really do not know. May be a legacy defaul option left for
compatibility reasons but now a little obsolete? UTF-8 seems to me more
than enough a reason to switch from pdflatex to xetex...
And reading around xetex have much more very nice features...
