You've found the right bug. I've added a comment when I've fixed the bug in CVS HEAD: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20480
Unfortunately, using a dev snapshot won't help you since FOP 0.20.5 is based on our old maintenance branch which has been frozen and CVS HEAD is not ready for production. If you fix the bug for 0.20.5 it probably won't make it into our CVS. A work-around is to use a third-party tool to encrypt the generated PDF files. BTW, normally, you shouldn't mail any developer directly, but to ask on this list first.
