I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce your problem. I have no problem converting to PDF a bookmap containing a notices element in its frontmatter or backmatter element (at any position, mixed with other frontmatter/backmatter child elements or not).
Once again this problem is triggered by your specific bookmap. Before sending us this file, please double-check that your bookmap validates against the DITA bookmap DTD. I used ditac 1.2 (to be released in the next few days) to convert a bookmap containing a notices element.
