You don't say what the current node is when this test gets applied,
nor what the other conditions within the xsl:choose are, but assuming 
that what you are doing is equivalent to:

  <xsl:template match="dataType">
    <xsl:if test="boolean">
      <xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

then Saxon correctly returns the attribute value in both cases.
