It's difficult for me to say anything useful on this without seeing your
code. It doesn't match any known bug in 6.5.2.
Is there just one xsl:key declaration with the given name?
Is there only one source document? A common problem with the key()
function is calling it when the context node is in a temporary tree, not
in the principal source document.
Do you get the expected results if you replace the call on key('k', $v)
with the expression //MATCH[USE=@v]? In most cases, this expression
should give the same results as calling key().
When you say that there are incorrect entries in the key tables, is this
based on low-level inspection of Saxon's index structures, or on
stylesheet-level behavior of the key() function?
Without seeing your code, I would expect that the most likely
explanation is calling key() when the context node is in the "wrong"
document.
