Actually, the whole note is a bit sloppy. I think what it's trying to say is
that in unordered mode, it's indeterminate which element will be returned by an
expression such as (//a)[last()]. You have to read the caveat for all these
functions in the same way: the behaviour of the function itself is determinate,
but if it is used in an expression along with operands that evaluate sequences
in unordered mode, the overall result is unpredictable and meaningless.
