Bryan, XMLBeans 2.3.0 and Saxon 8.8 work well together, like you noticed.
XMLBeans 2.4.0 however needs at least Saxon 9.0.0.4 (and probably works equally well with Saxon 9.1.x). The differences between Saxon 8.8 and Saxon 9.0 are too big for us to be able to support both in the same XMLBeans version. That being said, what you are seeing is strange. On the one hand, the copy should be close enough to the original that the xpath should give the same result, on the other 2.3.0 works. Could you maybe do something like ((Cursor)app.xmlCursor()).dump() and then the same on tmpApp to try to see exactly if there is a difference?
