You arent trying to convert "<" int "&lt;"; you are trying to convert an
element node called b into a text node whose value is "<b>text</b>". This is
because transformations work on trees: the text node "<b>text</b>" in the
tree will be serialised using "&lt;" in the output file.

So you want something like

<xsl:template match="b">
&lt;b&gt;<xsl:value-of select="."/>&lt;/b&gt;
</xsl:template>

Though why you should want to do something so weird has me quite baffled.
