It looks like a bug to me, sample stylesheet is

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="2.0">

<xsl:param name="map" select="'map'"/>

 <xsl:output name="map"
    method="xml"
    doctype-public="-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN"
    doctype-system="map.dtd"
    indent="yes"
  />


<xsl:template name="main">
  <xsl:result-document href="test2015122301Output.xml" format="{$map}">
    <root>
      <foo>bar</foo>
    </root>
  </xsl:result-document>
  <xsl:result-document href="test2015122302Output.xml" format="{'map'}">
    <root>
      <foo>bar</foo>
    </root>
  </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and the test2015122301Output.xml then looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root><foo>bar</foo></root>

while the second is test2015122302Output.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE root
  PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">
<root>
   <foo>bar</foo>
</root>
