Not sure how you're generating your TOc. Couldn't you just use something
like:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="toc"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="section" mode="toc">
    <xsl:number level="multiple" count="section" format="1."/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="toc"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="text()" mode="toc"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

**** And: ****

<doc>
  <section>
    <section/>

For me, that's difficult to say without knowing what you're actually
doing.

I have no idea if this is a bug or a bugfix. It would be easier if you
supplied a minimal, self-contained example (like above) that exposes the
behaviour - correct or incorrect - that you're seeing.
