I don't know if is in the same category of software you're discussing, but i found a library sometime ago for generating PDFs from C++: http://libpdfxx.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html
Nope, doesn't even come close - converting from FO XML and getting all the pagination correct in the output is a hugely complex job - probably why there's only ever been one solution that's even come close to getting it right - and even they (XEP that is) don't handle everything.
Did we every try using http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/ and then sending it through pdflatex?
Just gave it a quick go - docs look promising, but I can't get it to install in Windows - python error during install. Giving up for now, John.
