This is a bug report on the XSLT 3 branch
[https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/tree/xalan-j_xslt3.0|https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/tree/xalan-j_xslt3.0.]
In XSLT 2/3, the group-by expression can evaluate to a sequence of more than
one item, if, for a certain item in the grouping population, a sequence of more
than item is returned by the group by expression, than that items has to be
inserted in each group formed by one of the grouping keys returned by the
group-by expression.
To cite [https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#xsl-for-each-group:]
If the {{group-by}} attribute is present, and if the {{composite}} attribute is
omitted or takes the value {{{}no{}}}, then an item in the population may have
multiple grouping keys: that is, the {{group-by}} expression evaluates to a
sequence, and each item in the sequence is treated as a separate grouping key.
The item is included in as many groups as there are distinct grouping keys
(which may be zero).
The current XSLT 3 branch of Xalan doesn't seem to take that into account, it
seems an item in the grouping population is put into exactly one group, even if
its group-by expression returns a set of multiple, distinct grouping keys.
