 What exactly does xsltproc's (that is: LibXSLT's) non-compliance (with
 the spec, I guess) consist in?

I don't know in full at all. Others on this list might be able to do better.

The one thing I do know is that is doesn't complain if you code
select= rather than match= on an xsl:template.

Not a show-stopper.
