Yes, I can confirm that doing this workaround (commenting out the
doctype in ccbysa.xml) breaks validation of other docs (for example the
gnome/desktopguide) because the entities in the ccbysa.xml are therefore
no longer defined.

So what is the solution here? We need to figure out a way to ensure that
the kquickguide and kuserguide validate properly. Perhaps the answer
will be to have a full review of the doctypes and headers in all our
documents, and establish a standard. But I don't really know enough
about it to provide an answer here.
