For some reason, this second variable declaration doesn't work (i.e. no
data is assigned to it).

The id() finction works only if the XML source includes a proper DOCTYPE declaration which also has to declare the necessary attribute(s) as of type ID. As already mentioned, using xsl:key and key() is more flexible in this regard.
