Just a second - the version in eXist-db (9.1) does not have that bug
and works fine in lib/endorsed.
I spent some time making sure that that was the case.

I also investigated the issues with 9.2 that you had previously found
and contacted Mike Kay about it, he has agreed to resolve this in the
next release of 9.2 - hopefully we wont be waiting that long.

But what is all the fuss, we dont need 9.2 today, do we? I mean apart
from new version syndrome what is the problem with using 9.1 - as far
as I can tell it is a superb XSLT processor that gives us everything
we need.
