Based on your explanation and the required result I think you should 
rather use group-adjacent than group-starting-with.
Here is an example stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
  xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf";
  version="2.0"
  exclude-result-prefixes="xs mf">

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:function name="mf:group" as="node()*">
    <xsl:param name="nodes" as="node()*"/>
    <xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
    <xsl:if test="$nodes">
      <list type="ul">
        <xsl:for-each-group select="$nodes" 
group-adjacent="boolean(self::*[@level = $level])">
          <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
              <xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group(), $level + 
1)"/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
          </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:for-each-group>
      </list>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:function>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*, node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="item[@level]">
    <item>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </item>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="test">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="boolean(self::item)">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
            <xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group(), 0)"/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
