Well, xelatex has a few modes of operation:

-interaction=STRING     set interaction mode (STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/
                          scrollmode/errorstopmode)

on batchmode, it doesn't complain about any errors, but doesn't produce any
error. On the default mode (errorstopmode), it will stop on the first error.

Ok, but this one is on another place ;)

If it is the same issue that happened on Sphinx 1.4.x, it is due to 
the lack of some column specification on a .. tabularcolumn markup.

I have already a series fixing all errors with PDF on 1.4.x.

Just submitted. Please check it it makes ok on Sphinx 1.3.x.

Cheers,
Mauro
