Re:  function last() not matching the last element tag
I was beginning to wonder if it was a problem with a version of something in xsltproc. The same undesired results occur with [position()=last()] and putting last() into a variable.

Your code seems correct. I just run your sample input against your XSLT stylesheet using Saxon 6.5.5 and it produced exactly your desired result. This is perhaps a bug in libxslt. You may try as an alternative [position() = last()] or put last() in a variable and use that variable as predicate, which should produce the same results.
