Oh man, am I ever embarassed. I just realized what's wrong with this. I mistakenly thought that the select attributes in the xsl:variable elements in the first xsl:template would invoke the second xsl:template. Nope. These select attributes merely get ile:content and ile:template nodes from the input document and assign them to variables. I was confusing them with the select attribute of an xsl:apply-templates element. Only in that case is a template from the stylesheet applied to the selected nodes from the input document. So your description "compute instances of XMLFile in the second template to be returned to the first template" does not describe the behavior of the stylesheet snippet you gave in the example.
