That sounds like a bug in Illustrator. FOP 0.20.5 creates PDF version 1.3 which
does not support XMP metadata, so it's no wonder that Illustrator cannot create
an internal representation of XMP metadata. Actually, Illustrator shouldn't even
try to do anything with XMP metadata if it encounters a version 1.3 PDF.

Since I've submitted a few bug reports about Adobe Acrobat myself I know that
reporting a bug for Illustrator with Adobe probably won't help at all (just gets
ignored and the receipt not even acknowledged). So, a work-around could be to
try the latest FOP code from Subversion (FOP Trunk) which contains full XMP
support. FOP 0.92beta could also work although it hasn't got the full XMP story in.

But don't be surprised if it doesn't work even with the latest FOP version.
While implementing support for XMP, PDF/X-3:2003 and PDF/A-1b I found all sorts
of weird behaviour in Adobe software. The Adobe stuff seems to be deficient
concerning interoperability. Although FOP strongly adheres to Adobe's
specifications Adobe Acrobat reports errors in preflight checks in FOP-generated
PDFs. Still a few bugs left in their software.

As an alternative to Illustrator, you can also check font sizes in Adobe Acrobat
(not the Reader edition). OTOH, you can trust FOP to generate the right font
sizes if you specified them correctly in XSL-FO.
