Have you tried preceding::*[1] ?!
AFAIK this only matches elements.

Betreff: [xsl] 1st previous node()
XSL1.0
I need help finding the first previous node, skipping white space,
comments, etc.. I thought this might work, but I can't get it or
similar tries to work.
<xsl:variable name="previous" select="preceding::node()
[not(comment())]
[not(text())]
[not(processing-instruction())]
[1]"/>
Given that <X> is the context node then I expect the previous node is <M>.
<A>
<M>
<?skip me?>
<!--skip me-->
</M>
<X> this is context node </X>
</A>
Given that <X> is the context node then I expect the previous node is <B>.
<A>
<B>
<X> this is context node </X>
</B>
</A>
