I agree with Ken that looks like a bug.

In XSLT1, count(//foo) should always be at greater than or equal to
count(foo) 

So it can't happen that the first of these is zero and the second is not.

As it happens, in XSLT2 count(//foo) may be not be greater than
count(foo), but in that case it will generate an error rather than
return a number such as zero.
