The TeX output of dblatex can be stripped down to the attached example,
exposing a problem of the TeX listings package regarding utf8 encoding.
(The listings package gets used due to the DocBook <screen> element.)
Thus I'd argue it's a TeX problem.

% This example demonstrates problems of the listings package regarding utf8
%encoding: the output of a pdflatex run exposes swapped characters:
% Nicht ügengend Platz üfr »Dynamic «MMap
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T2A,T2D,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{inputencoding=utf8x,extendedchars=\true}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
Nicht genügend Platz für »Dynamic MMap«
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
