First I note your formatting pattern should be '$#,.00' and not "$,.00".
Next, converting your stylesheet to XSLT 1.0 and using the above
pattern gets you what you need, so I suspect this is a simple
oversight in Saxon that will probably be fixed soon given its creator
follows this list.
I hope this helps.

I've just noticed a difference in the way small numbers are formatting.
When I wrote this a few weeks ago, small numbers formatted with the
correct precision. Now it seems the format string is being ignored.
I believe I was using Saxon 8.8 when I first wrote the code. I updated
to Saxon 8.9.0.4 yesterday, but that may just be a coincidence.
What am I missing?
Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<values>
<amt>-0.003000</amt>
<amt>-0.001500</amt>
<amt>0.003000</amt>
<amt>0.00</amt>
<amt>0</amt>
</values>
Expected output:
amt: [-0.003] formatted-value: [-$0.00]
amt: [-0.0015] formatted-value: [-$0.00]
amt: [0.003] formatted-value: [$0.00]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0.00]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0.00]
Actual output:
amt: [-0.003] formatted-value: [-$0]
amt: [-0.0015] formatted-value: [-$0]
amt: [0.003] formatted-value: [$0]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0]
Stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fk="http://www.the401kcompany.com/functions";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/values">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="amt" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="amt">
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="fk:nbr-format(.)" />
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="fk:nbr-format">
<xsl:param name="amt" as="xs:double" />
<xsl:variable name="picture" select="'$,.00'" />
amt: [<xsl:value-of select="$amt" />]
formatted-value: [<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(number($amt), string($picture))" />]
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
