Try changing the test to use the preceding-sibling axis, thus:

<xsl:when test="count(preceding-sibling::p) = 0">

That test catches the first p in a series of neighboring p elements.

Be aware that with large input files and with a not-too-optimizing processor, this test might perform quadratic. If that happens, you can try changing it to:

<xsl:when test="not(preceding-sibling::p[1])">

which will behave the same but is easier optimized by the processor.

A note to the OP: in your xsl:otherwise statement you have na added xsl:if which seems redundant there because it tests for the inverse of the xsl:when. If so intended, you can remove it.
