I can reproduce the effect you describe if I use a resultsheader without trailing newline:
7 pages in total.{| |
|valign=top|
|valign=top|
|valign=top|
|}
Is that the reason?
The problem with getText() could lie in the version of your MW version. MW changed the interface (somwhen in 1.13 I believe) - so you might need a more recent version of MW to use the latest version of DPL.
BTW: In my opinion the example in the manual works correctly - for testing I just put in a category name which exists in the current wiki, like 'Fictitious country':

- Dunno about the trailing newline but since I don't feel like upgrading MW now, I'll just use <div style="-moz-column-count:2;column-count:2;"> in resultsheader and </div> in resultsfooter. —Eep² 10:46, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
