This is because xmlproc does not support parameter entities inside
declarations yet. xmlproc 0.52 was releases now because I wanted to
start working on this now and expected that to take a while. For now
I'm afraid you'll have to normalize the DTD before you use it.

This is a bug. I'll fix it tomorrow and post a fix on Thursday.

Part of the reason why 0.52 is so much faster than 0.51 is that it
no longer uses regexps to parse names. Anyway, I don't think this is
the problem, it looks as though the 'name' variable for some reason
isn't initialized.

No.
