Frequently, and it seems to happen more often with languages that use
non-Latin character sets, the error is in the PO file rather than the
XML.

However, zh-CN worked last night, so that might not be the issue unless
you did some translations immediately before building.

you don't "pull" f17, the process is:

  git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/release-notes.git
  git checkout --track -b f17 origin/f17
  tx pull -a
  publican build -l zh-CN -f pdf
