Dear Osamu,

thanks for your investigation and test case.

Since docbook.sty is hacking around in lots of corners, and hasn't probably
been updated to current babel, please check first whether this is a genuine
babel bug, that is whether it happens with babel-portugues but *not* using
third-party modules like docbook.sty/dblatex.

I tried to dig into the dblatex code, but it is so painfully convoluted
that I don't see the real chance to go to the bottom of it.

If you can reproduce the bug with a plain latex + babel-portugues *only*
setup, I will forward it to the authors/babel team.

Thanks for your understanding

Norbert
