Try this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="node()">
 <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[@lang='en'] | node()[not(@lang)]"
mode="cp"/>
     </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="node()" mode="cp">
 <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I split the <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()"> in two seperate
templates. I removed match / because that is not really necessary. By the
"match=node()" the copy is only done when the @lang is 'en' or does not
exist. In that case the template with mode='cp' is called.

Hope that helps,
Agnes
