This seems to be a bug in FOP.

[1] Edit <XXE_install_dir>/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl using a
text editor.
[2] In command "docb.toPS" (also used for PDF), delete these lines:
---
<resources match="(?:.+/)?(.+)\.tex"
copyTo="raw" referenceAs="%w/resources/$1.%0" />
---
[3] Replace this line:
---
<convertImage from="raw" to="resources" format="%0 png" />
---
by this line:
---
<convertImage from="raw" to="resources" format="png" />
---
[4] Restart XXE.
It works, but the result is ugly because instead of converting TeX math
to PDF vector format, you convert it to PNG raster format.
---
PS: As always, using RenderX XEP rather than Apache FOP is highly
recommended.
---
PS2: I've attached the modified xslMenu.incl file I've used to test all
this.
