I'm currently investigating. At present I seem to be getting your "incorrect" 
output in 9.7.0.7.

I’ve got it working now. I was using SaxonHE9-6-0-7J. Upgrading to 
SaxonHE9-7-0-7J
Not sure if I should be pleased it was an easy fix or embarrassed I didn’t 
think of that first!
Thanks for the assistance.

   That is odd. 
   I will poke around in my environment here and see what I can find.

       After my hasty answer, Andrew, I looked at your email again and 
       thought that, indeed, there should be no difference.
       So I executed your code with the combined template, and I do, in 
       fact, get the same result.  Results below with Saxon.
       Did you invoke the wrong files, perhaps?
