This should be changed to:

<xsl:variable name="valores" select="ROW[field1 = 'A' and field2 = 'B']" />

When a variable is given its value via the select attribute,
it can remain a nodeset.
When the value is given as the content (child[ren]) of xsl:variable,
it gets converted to a result tree fragment, which cannot be used
as a nodeset in XSL 1.0.
