Indeed, you have uncovered a bug in the stylesheets. The stylesheets put an article
into an fo:page-sequence, but the only template for colophon also tries to create an
fo:page-sequence. Since you cannot nest fo:page-sequence, this does not work.
Instead, a colophon inside an article should be handled in with a separate template a
manner similar to the way an appendix inside an article is handled: without starting
another fo:page-sequence.
If you want to file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site, that would be great.
In the meantime, you will need to add a new template in your customization layer to
fix this problem. You could copy the template with match="d:colophon" from
fo/component.xsl, and make these changes:
1. Change the match to match="d:article/d:colophon".
2. Remove all the fo:page-sequence stuff, leaving just:
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:block id="{$id}"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="component.titlepage.properties">
<xsl:call-template name="colophon.titlepage"/>
</fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
