Don't kick yourself too hard...

If I have this source document (fragment):
...
                    <info name="AppDomainName"
value="/LM/W3SVC/165639889/Root-1-128115363895000000"/>

Why does this stylesheet (fragment):
...
                    <xsl:value-of
select="Exception/additionalInfo/info[@name='AppDomainName']/@name"/>

not give me the value of the AppDomainName attribute in the
appDomainName attribute of <Error> below:

Because you are asking for the name attribute, not the value attribute. Your XPath address should end with "/@value".

I have the feeling that this should be obvious to me, but it has been a
busy day, so if anyone would be kind enough to put me out of my misery,
I would be eternally grateful.

It must have been a very busy day for you, as I make this kind of oversight myself at times.
