I'd use a Unicode character category match for this:

<xsl:for-each-group select="glossentry"
   group-by="(substring(upper-case(glossterm),1,1)[matches(.,'\p{Lu}')],'NON-LETTER-GROUP')[1]">
    <topicref navtitle="{current-grouping-key()}" toc="no">
        ...
    </topicref>
</xsl:for-each-group>

What you put in for "NON-LETTER-GROUP" might depend on where or how
you're sorting the glossary entries.
