I repeated your experiment with Saxon 8.4, changing only the variable
definition of $y to:
<xsl:variable name="y" select="data(example/test/text())"/>
and still got:
$y variable value: 132131
Test as string:false
Test as integer:false
It seems to me that the test as xs:string should be positive, because
the typed value of a text node must be by definition xs:string.
No, the typed value of a text node is by definition untypedAtomic - see
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-typed-value
untypedAtomic is a chameleon type that is automatically cast to the type
required by the context where it is used.
