  <xsl:text>images/</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($xsrc,'/images/images/')" />

makes a sequence of length 2, a text node and a string, as you have the
as= attribute these are not merged into an implict document node (at
which point they would be merged into a single text node)
so you get a type error from xsl:string which requires a single item.

Easiest is to use
<xsl:variable name="normsrc" as="xs:string">
<xsl:value-of>
<xsl:choose>
...
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:value-of>
</xsl:variable>

value-of scoops up anything in the content and makes a single text node
which then gets coerced to a string because of thee as= attribute.
