I think that problem is not in XPath but in templates. I suppose
something like that will suit for you:
<xsl:key name="ents-by-name" use="@name" match="//ents/ent"/>
<xsl:template match="topLevel">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"/>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="page"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<p><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entRef">
<xsl:variable name="ent-name" select="key('ents-by-name', @name)"/>
<b>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$ent-name">
<xsl:value-of select="$ent-name"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text/>Undefined ent
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</b>
</xsl:template>
