I find this strange.

With context to my example, ifB xsl:variable name="temp_result" without
an explicit type declaration on the variable, presents the result of
this variable as string (and string-length(translate(... working fine on
such a variable),

Without having any "as" attribute your variable is a document fragment node containing the content constructed by the sequence constructor; of course if you use functions like "translate" expecting a string value the string value of the document fragment (which is the concatenation of the string value(s) of all child nodes) is being used.
