Change the above named template to use apply-templates instead of
value-of:

<xsl:template name="getchaptitle">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="chaptertitle"/>
</xsl:template>

And then add a 'no-op' template for <ugly>:

<xsl:template match="ugly"/>

This will ensure if there is any text after your <ugly> element it gets
processed as well.  If you already have template for <ugly> that does
something else, you will want to use a mode on the no-op template.
