This sounds like one of the "deeper mysteries" of XSL; best
to take this up with the XSL mailing list - where there are a number
of very clued-up people who could give you much more insight
into the specifics of this problem.
 
See:

Hi

Thanks for all your help; think we found the problem - is it a case that 
later versions of xalan are more "strict" in what they allow then?

(Basically the problem seems to be an included stylesheet conditionally 
referencing a template which may or may not appear in the outer 
stylesheet if that makes sense!)

Thanks again

Duncan
