Could you be more specific about the problem?

I just processed a Docbook 4.1.2 document containing
<authorblurb> using the Xalan-J 1.2.2 XSL processor and
the Docbook XSL 1.25 stylesheets, and I got no errors.

However, when <authorblurb> is contained in <biblioentry>, its
output is "suppressed" according the the stylesheet.
When it is contained in a <bibliomixed> entry, the
authorblurb is displayed.  According to the DocBook
Definitive Guide, a <biblioentry> is a "database of
named fields" and suppressed some entries.  The
<bibliomixed> element is supposed to output all
of its content.  Which container were you using?
