isn't that what you'd expect?

With your modified DTD your source document is equivalent to

<html
  xmlns:oeb="http://openebook.org/namespaces/oeb-document/1.0/";>
...

so the html is in the null namespace, and the oeb prefix is declared but
not used.

With the original DTD your source document is equivalent to

<html
  xmlns="http://openebook.org/namespaces/oeb-document/1.0/";>
...

so the html element is in the OEB namespace and since you can only refer
to namespaced elements in xpath by using a prefix, your stylesheet has
to look like

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:oeb="http://openebook.org/namespaces/oeb-document/1.0/";
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"

>

...

<xsl:template match="oeb:html">
....
