Interesting. What does the comma seperation achieve in the select?
"," in XPath 2.0 is a sequence concatenation operator. The construct (A,
B)[1] selects the first item in the sequence formed by concatenating the
sequences A and B: that is, the first A if there is one, or the first B
otherwise.

That's what I figured. I was hoping to avoid such. It's
much cleaner
to right a single apply-templates rule. Uggg.

How do I setup a template rule for this non-existent match?
You can't: templates are fired by matching nodes, if you
select an empty
node set, then no templates will be invoked.
If you want something to happen if there is not an
ABC/D child do
<xsl:if test="not(ABC/D)">
something
</xsl:if>
