Using the trace() function can be useful to determine what the actual value
of an expression is. Alternatively, temporarily remove the type check and
add some logic to the called function to display details such as
count($relatedItem).
If you're really stuck, send me the full source and stylesheet and I'll try
and diagnose it for you.

Here's source fragment.
<relatedItem type="host">
<titleInfo>
<title>Newsweek</title>
</titleInfo>
No matter how I adjust the argument on the template below, I get the
same error. So I don't understand what's going on.
<xsl:function name="mods:reftype" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="relatedItem" as="element(mods:relatedItem)" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$relatedItem/@type = 'host'">
<xsl:variable name="issuance" as="xs:string"
select="$relatedItem/mods:originInfo/mods:issuance" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$issuance = 'continuing'">article</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$issuance = 'monographic'">chapter</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>book</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:template match="mods:titleInfo" mode="title-before">
<xsl:if test="mods:reftype(parent::mods:relatedItem) = 'chapter'">
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
