I'm having trouble understanding/reproducing this. Can you supply a complete
repro? (I.e., the source data that results in this error)
I've checked the message, and it's actually inaccurate: the offending item
might be a function/array/map rather than an atomic value.

When using XPath 3.1 (e.g. in XSLT 3) on maps I have found that I have to
change my coding habit a bit when writing predicates that want to check the
existence of some nested map, while I hoped to be able to write e.g.
?locations?*[?types?*[?name = 'foo']]
to select all (map) members of the "locations" array that have a "types"
array with at least one (map) member having a property "name" with value
"foo" I get an error
Effective boolean value is not defined for sequence starting with an atomic
value other than a boolean, number, or string
So in contrast to my experience with writing predicates on XML it seems for
maps I have to explicitly use the "exists" function e.g.
?locations?*[exists(?types?*[?name = 'foo'])]
or a "some .. in" expression
?locations?*[some $m in ?types?* satisfies $m?name = 'foo']
Is there any more compact way to write such a check?
What is the reason that the effective boolean value was not extended to give
true for a sequence with a map?
