It’s not that easy. Actually, it’s not really a bug in libxslt or docbook-xsl but a memory issue (stack overflow). libxslt doesn’t optimize tail calls, so recursive templates should be used with great care because after a couple of hundred recursions, stack space runs out. If you set the --maxdepth option of xsltproc to a value that’s low enough, you’ll get an error message instead of a crash, but finding a suitable value depends on stack size and the actual stylesheet.
