I think they should be the same if 'filename' is the input doc, shouldn't they?

Unfortunately no--'document("")' returns the root node of the stylesheet, not the input document.

Not thinking clearly. Of course this works. I was confused by the example in the writeup of document() in the spec and didn't think it through.

But it doesn't work between document('filename') and passing the file on the command line ... my post from last night shows the evidence with both XT and Saxon.
