MSXML v. Saxon - whose bug?

The following XML and XSL produces one more output element in Saxon 5.4
than in MSXML3 July download - listings follow (with some removeal of
blank lines):

---
D:\bugs\333a>type t.xml
<xw:wrapper
xmlns:xw='http://www.workspot.net/~roundand/xml/xwrapper.xsd'>
  <itemStatus>
    <status>REFER</status>
    <applicationId>CCUK000000000604</applicationId>
  </itemStatus>
</xw:wrapper>

D:\bugs\333a>type t.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <!-- take a wrapper with a header and an appStatus -->
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <header>
      <status><xsl:value-of select="//status"/></status>
      <!-- now the rest of the simple itemStatus elements -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
    </header>
  </xsl:template>

  <!-- kill the itemStatus/status since we've already output it -->
  <xsl:template match="status" />
  <xsl:template match="itemStatus/status" />

  <!-- and generate "attribute" elements with the rest... -->
  <xsl:template match="itemStatus/*">
    <attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of
select="text()"/></attribute>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

D:\bugs\333a>\xmlschema\saxon t.xml t.xsl
Cannot find ParserManager.properties - using built-in parser
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<header>
   <status>REFER</status>
   <attribute name="applicationId">CCUK000000000604</attribute>
</header>

D:\bugs\333a>\xmlschema\xslproc t.xml t.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<header>
<status>REFER</status>
<attribute name="status">REFER</attribute>
<attribute name="applicationId">CCUK000000000604</attribute>
</header>
---

The line 
	"<attribute name="status">REFER</attribute>"
appears only in the output from xslproc (a wrapper for MSXML3), not in
the Saxon output.

I've got to admit that I often sort out these template priority
questions by testing it then against a good parser, but these two are
giving me different results!

Any thoughts as to who's got the spec on their side?

Francis.
