This looks like a bug, but it is more a limitation: the DocBook CSS does not support the 'startingnumber' attribute of <orderedlist> element, nor the 'override' attribute of <listitem> element. However, we support (to a certain extent) the 'continuation'="continues"|"restarts" attribute of <orderedlist> element. So may be this can solve your problem. Note that the fact that you don't see the correct numbering on screen does not mean that it will not work when you'll convert your document to HTML or PDF.
