I think we need more code fragments to see ... nothing strikes me as 
incorrect in the two snippets you've given.

If you are using <xsl:with-param/> inside of <xsl:apply-templates/> (you 
don't say if you are using <xsl:call-template or not) make sure you don't 
have any built-in templates being triggered between the processing of the 
two templates.  If so, the built-in template will not pass the node 
parameter, the template with the parameter declaration will get called by 
the built-in template with no parameters, the default value for an empty 
parameter declaration is string, and you will have an empty string passed 
for the <xsl:apply-templates/>.

But that is just a guess based on your evidence.

I hope this helps.
