I have the simplified stylesheet that follows this message. I have a problem with the usage of the "addInlineText" template which simply tries to copy the nodes defined at the call site. It is also important to apply-template on the copied nodes to further apply transformations defined elsewhere.

Xalan fails to process the template and seems to fail to build a node-set for the for-each instruction. I get this error:
  SystemID: print.xsl; Line#: 9; Column#: 33
  org.apache.xpath.XPathException: Can not convert #RTREEFRAG to a NodeList!

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="html">

<xsl:template name="addInlineText">
  <xsl:param name="value" />
  <xsl:for-each select="$value" >

I think here you need
    <xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($value)">
then you should no longer get the error you described above.
