Bob helped me with that one off-list, I will summarize his findings for the list:

The cause of the error-messages was my use of the xrefstyle in some of my xrefs:
<xref linkend="mot" role="select: label"/>

Where 'mot' is the ID of a preface-element. Those don't have labels. It is possible to generate labels for  
other elements, e.g. figures and chapters, resulting in 'Figure 1.23' or 'Chapter 4'.
Since a preface and e.g. a IDied para don't have labels there is no xref-number context which results in the  
error-message.

One could use <xref linkend="mot" role="select: title"/> to refer to preface.



best regards and thanks to Bob
