<http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlbase-20010627/>:

  The base URI for a URI reference appearing in the content of a
  processing instruction is the base URI of the parent element of
  the processing instruction, if one exists within the document
  entity or external entity, otherwise the base URI of the document
  entity or external entity containing the processing instruction.

While I do not know when this would apply, I believe it to be trivial to
make a document including a xml-stylesheet processing instruction where
it does not apply. I am unsure what problem you are trying to see here.
