It took time, but I actually looked into this bug and this is not
xsltproc related.

The docbook xsl for manpages do generate the files through
exsl:document, and doesn't output anything to the standard output.

For docbook-xsl maintainer:
The output filename is defined in manpages/docbook.xsl, and is roughly
defined as concat(normalize-space ($name), '.', $section), which
excludes the language used for the manpage.
