If whitespace text nodes matter then in your sample
  /root/child2/preceding-sibling::node()[1]
is a text node and only
  /root/child2/preceding-sibling::node()[2]
is a processing instruction node.

  <xsl:if 
test="preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::processing-instruction('proc')]">

should do if you strip whitespace.
