If I do:

<fo:table>
  <fo:table-body>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="stuff"/>
  </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>

Where a match on "stuff" produces a bunch of fo table-rows... I get
the following validation error:

Empty 'fo:table-body'.
event validation total: 1 error

Is this an expected error?

I'm guessing <stuff> never matched and your table body really is empty. If you are doing a transformation using a different tool than your FO engine, you should be able to inspect the FO instance and see for yourself. If you are using an FO engine with an embedded XSLT processor there should be an option to expose the transformed result so that you can inspect what actually ended up in the XSL-FO.

I hope this helps.
