The default collation used for the eq operator is implementation-defined in
XQuery, but in XSLT it is prescribed to be Unicode codepoint collation. At
any rate, I thought it was - rereading, I'm not sure I can find that
explicitly stated. But if I'm right, then an XSLT processor is not licensed
to perform Unicode normalization before comparing two strings unless a
different default collation has been chosen. In Saxon you can select a
normalizing collation using
<xsl:stylesheet ...
default-collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?decomposition=standard";
If you do this, the comparison you cite returns true.

Subject: [xsl] Is normalization is optional?
Hello,
I note that Marklogic perform XML normalization (see
http://unicode.org/faq/normalization.html) so i expect that
it is common practice.
Just note that XQuery '〈〉' eq
'〈〉' is false for Saxon but true for Marklogic.
With best wishes,
Slav
