You can only use attribute value template notation {} in attribute
values on literal result elements and a few specific xsl elements that do
_not_ take an Xpath expression.
In a select attribute you should always use an Xpath expression (and {}
is not Xpath syntax) so you just want

 <xsl:value-of select="generate-id(.)"/>
