Yes, you should be able to place the anchor as a child of section. This is
a deficiency of the stylesheet that it doesn't handle it. It is similar to
the problem of indexterms markers needing to exist in both contexts. If you
would file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site, it will get fixed.
It hasn't come up before because when sections are processed, they are
normally put inside an fo:block, so the fo:inline is not output at the top
level. I guess the context of your xi:include is not inside a section
element, right?
Your customization works for me. I can't see why it would not work for you.
You might put an xsl:message inside it to see if it is being reached, and
debug from there.

Subject: [docbook] Unhappy XEP: anchor as child of section
I would like to place an anchor as a direct child of a section, so that
when I xi:include the content of the section, I have an anchor with which
to cross-reference the content.
Unfortunately, the stock transformations always convert the anchor to an
inline, regardless the parentage of the anchor.
(A) Is there a reason why I should not be able to insert an anchor as the
child of the section?
(B) Assuming that I should be able to, why on earth is this customization
to the templates not working? I could swear the test should work; it
looks to be analogous to any number of examples in the transformation
code. I is teh dumb, I guess.
<xsl:template match="d:anchor">
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="parent::d:section">
<fo:block id="{$id}"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:inline id="{$id}"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
(For benefit of those who might search the mailing list for xi:include/
xinclude examples, I'm using variations on this construct:
<xi:include
href="source.xml"
xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook)
xmlns(xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude)
xpointer(//db:secti...@xml:id='section_id']/db:title/following-
sibling::*)"
/>
)
