Following on from my previous message, yes, I think it is the same bug.

Saxon isn't detecting that $vData is a single-document node-set, which
means that it can't take "/root/data" out of the predicate (because "/"
might refer to different documents on different occasions). This is
basically the same situation as described in the original bug report.
Evaluating /root/data outside the predicate and putting it in a variable
would certainly do no harm.
