Update
After additional research on the list, we discovered that the use of
string(node-set) evaluates to the first occurrance of the node in the
set. So, the appropriate test is just: node-set//text().
Thanks Wendell, found this:

OK, this is XSLT 1.0 (I should get in the habit of mentioning that)
The general idea is to display a group heading with child heading and
child detail below each child heading, with the following rules in
place:
1) only display a group heading if 1 or more child details items occur
2) only display a child heading if 1 or more child details occur
I'd say the above is typical, well, common anyhow.
I have proven that my context is valid with xsl:comment(s) like <!--
YES I AM HERE -->
I have dummed down the xml (see below) and written similar xpath
expressions, as a sanity check. So now I am wondering what is it I
could be doing wrong. I can't freely post the xml and xsl source, as
this is a solution for a client.
I will continue to test and experiment but am afraid that I might have
to resort to a workaround. The demands on this report are pretty
steep leading up to this point with left to right pivoted groupings
requiring a few recursive template calls, and following::sibling types
of selects.
Is it possible that I have overworked the engine, found a bug? It
would be my 2nd in about 5 years if I had!

What would cause a string() test to fail?
Give us some clues:
(a) XSLT 1.0 or 2.0?
(b) By "fail", do you mean "throw an error", or "return false"?
