I thought I was making some stupid mistake evident to anyone but me. 
Here's the err msg:

Error at xsl:value-of on line 18 of 
file:/F:/Dane/tymczas/xliff/saxon/segment.xsl:
  FORX0002: net.sf.saxon.type.RegexTranslator$RegexSyntaxException: 
Error at character 2 in regular expression: bad escape sequence

Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

I got no error on using quotes around $before but then I got "false" 
everytime in the output as nothing matched (and it should, given the 
contents of beforebreak).

I checked that with a template:

<xsl:template match="//rule[@break='yes']">
  <xsl:variable name="before" select="beforebreak"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$before"/>
  <!-- xsl:value-of select='matches($segmented_file//Raw, $before)'/ -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>


And I got the content of it in the output (I've five <rule> elements, 
and three of them have beforebreak filled in, so it got concatenated):

<?xml version="1.0" 
encoding="UTF-8"?>[\.\?!]+[\.\?!]+[\xff61\x3002\xff0e\xff1f\xff01]+

Does this sound like evidence?

Cheers,
