The value of position() and last() within the template depends on the
position of the node being processed within the set of nodes selected by the
apply-templates call, which you haven't shown us.

The most likely explanation is that the apply-templates call is selecting
whitespace text nodes as well as element nodes. Altova follows Microsoft in
silently removing these before the transformation starts, unless you go to
special lengths to prevent this.
