Any for-each that is a descendant of a for-each (with no parent for-each) will lose its context. The context will be the current node, in this case text. Am I correct in this assumption?

No, the result of the tokenize is a sequence of string values and that way in the for-each select="tokenize(...)" you have a string value as the context item and you can't do XPath like ancestor on string items (or any atomic values), you can only do XPath on nodes.
