To spell it out in more detail,
your xhtml output is supposed to be in the xhtml namespace,
and perhaps the outer part of it (<xhtml:html>, <xhtml:head>, etc.) is.
In general these are serialized with xhtml as the default namespace:
<html xmlns="...xhtmlNamespaceURI...">
<head>
...
However the template that is being called with call-template is producing
<div>'s that are in no namespace, so they can't be serialized as just plain
<div>
in the above context.
The fix is to make sure the <div>'s are in the xhtml namespace.
In other words, in your called template, instead of
<div>
say
<xhtml:div>
