But that erratum (which I mentioned) changes the expression for 
computing $F from
  $S/(preceding::node()|ancestor::node())[matches-from(.)][last()]
to
  $S/(preceding::node()|ancestor-or-self::node())[matches-from(.)][last()]
it does not change the definition of matches-from saying
  "Let matches-from($node) be a function that returns true if and only 
if the given node $node matches the pattern given in the from attribute, 
or if $node  is the root node of a tree."
which in my understanding would make $F the root node of the tree for 
each of the first four 'a' elements.
