And your example looks just fine to me.

You don't describe your document model, but I'm guessing your chapter 
elements are siblings.  I suggest you replace the above with:

   <xsl:number/>

because level="any" will be *much* slower and should only be used for 
things like book-wide figures that are scattered throughout a 
document.  The default attributes will count like-named siblings, so you 
don't need to add any explicit attributes in your situation (if my 
assumption is correct).

I'm guessing an implementation problem, I can't see any reason why it 
wouldn't work.

I hope this helps.
