This isn't a FOP problem, but an XML misunderstanding.

Numerical character references, like &#156;, are *always* references to a 
Unicode code point.  In Unicode, character 156 is one of the C1 controls.

The lowercase o-e ligature is &#x153;, or &#339;.

In the Windows western European character set, codepage 1252, the o-e 
ligature is character 156.  Do not use that as a reference for Unicode; it 
is identical in the 0-127 and 160-255 ranges, but is entirely different in 
128-159.
