Right.

If you specify select="/*" on the input, you get the "right" result
because that gets you to a document base URI that's correct.

Yes. And I've reproduced that bug outside the context of XML Calabash
and sent it to saxon-help. Either there's a Saxon bug, or I'm using
the API wrong. Time will tell.

Yep. Thanks, Romain!
