This is coming from the default behavior of docbook-xsl. You can toggle
the behavior of showing the ulink's globally using the ulink.show
parameter (see:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/ulink.show.html) or you can write your own customization layer that overrides the 'ulink' match template (see fo/xref.xsl within your docbook-xsl distribution).

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading 
'DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide' by Bob Stayton. An HTML version of
this book is available for browsing/online reading at 
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html , but if you plan on doing a
lot of customizations onto DocBook output, I'd recommend buying a copy.
