Saxon is wrong to reject the ora:output, it should ignore it. It's doing the
test "this is an element in an extension element namespace that I don't
recognise" before it does the test "this is a top-level element, so I should
ignore it if I don't recognise its namespace".

I don't know how ora:output is designed to work, by the way, but
saxon:output is an instruction, not a top-level elements, so it only makes
sense to use it within a template body.
