I don't know what you intended this expression to mean, but what it
actually does is to test whether position() is equal to (last()-2),
which returns true or false; it then compares true or false to the
string "A", which is done by converting the string "A" to a boolean
(always true) and comparing the two booleans. This means the expression
is equivalent to

test="position() = last()-2"
