Yes, this is expected. With xml:space="preserve", whitespace text nodes
appearing in a sequence constructor are significant and are copied to the
output, as if they were enclosed in xsl:text.
With XSLT 1.0 this code would technically be in error, because no text nodes
are allowed as children of xsl:choose. However, many processors tolerated it
(or failed to detect the error), and in 2.0 it has explicitly been made
legal. However, I wouldn't ever advise using xml:space="preserve" in a
stylesheet, the results are too confusing.

Subject: [xsl] XSL 2.0 - value-of - xml:space="preserve"
Hi,
I have the following in a template. I have copied it directly
from the template without removing indentation spaces (I
don't use tabs):
<script type="text/JavaScript" xml:space="preserve"> ...
<xsl:variable name="acknowledge">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$task-type=5">3</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>1</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
document.getElementById("status").value=<xsl:value-of
separator="" select="$acknowledge"/>;
</
The above produces:
document.getElementById("status").value=
1
;
This is being output with xsl:result-document:
<xsl:result-document href="{$out-path}" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"
method="xml">
...
The problem is the xml:space on the script element. If
removed, it renders as (I) expected. If xml:space="preserve"
is present on the script element, is the result above
expected behavior?
thanks,
-Rob
p.s. I haven't looked into this too deeply, but I put an as
attribute with a schema type (yes, I declared the namespace):
<xsl:variable name="acknowledge" as="xs:integer"> and my page
rendered empty. ?
