Your code seems correct. I just run your sample input against your XSLT 
stylesheet using Saxon 6.5.5 and it produced exactly your desired 
result. This is perhaps a bug in libxslt. You may try as an alternative 
[position() = last()] or put last() in a variable and use that variable 
as predicate, which should produce the same results.
