RE: [xsl] Applying text nodes: 2 processors, 2 behaviours

You are not passing "text" as an argument, you are passing a result tree
fragment. Calling xsl:apply-templates on a result tree fragment is
disallowed by the XSLT 1.0 specification, but because it was permitted
by the XSLT 1.1 working drafts and now the XSLT 2.0 working drafts, some
processors allow it.

With a processor that doesn't allow it, you need to use the
xx:node-set() extension to turn the result tree fragment into a
node-set.
