Works for me (see files below).  Which version of XT are you using?

ht
----
Input XML:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<doc>
 <submenu id='baz'>
   <foo/>
 </submenu>
</doc>

Input XSL:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl' result-ns='' indent-result='yes'>
<xsl:template match='/'>
 <HTML><xsl:apply-templates/></HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='foo'>
 <P>
  <xsl:value-of select="ancestor(submenu[@id])/@id" />
 </P>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

<HTML>
 
   <P>baz</P>
 
</HTML>
