No to use an xsl:choose you must have used xsl:variable with xsl:choose
as content rather than a select expression. Such an xsl:variable never
generates a node set in xslt1: it generates a result tree fragment (which
would generate an error if passed to generate-id, or any other function
expecting a node set).

No, it returned a node set, and sets do not have an order (that's why
they are called sets not lists or sequences)

Interesting, I had never made a differentiation in a result-tree-fragment
and a node set like this. I figured a result-tree-fragment could only be
gotten on the output side and that when it would be in a variable or some
manner that you could process it, that this was a node set. But I see the
other part of your definition about order, which a result-tree fragment
definitely has. I had generally equated these as the same thing just on
different sides of the processing/output stage.
Ok so that explains why generate-id() didn't complain in the first situation.
Thanks, everyone that got the job done.
