If the cross-referenced table in your test case happens to be the first table with a title, you will get no output indeed. That's because the current node is a table element. the 'xsl:number' will release it's counting algorithm on every node preceding-or-self from the current node (the title of the current table will thus not be counted). Since you were really counting titles instead of titled tables, no result would be obtained.

Try this:
<xsl:number count="table[.//title]" level="any" from="manual"/>

key: <xsl:key name="tableids" match="table[@id]" use="@id"/>
