The only thing I can suggest here is that perhaps the xsl:value-of here
does not return a Boolean value, as you appear to expect it to, but a
string, which perhaps always casts to Boolean true() (because both the
strings "true" and "false" have non-zero length). That's the way it would
work in 1.0, and under value-of in Mike's XSLT 2.0 book it reads that the
instruction "constructs a text node", which would seem to be similar.
Actually, I wasn't understanding how the preceding axis was working,
nor exactly how your posted code. So I left out the position
conditional, which was the problem. This works:
<xsl:function name="bib:ibid" as="xs:boolean">
<xsl:param name="citation" as="node()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$citation/db:biblioref/@linkend =
$citation/preceding::db:biblioref[1]/@linkend"/>
</xsl:function>
