No the $dotOffset variable is always up to date. (Use get+alert to check
this if you want.)
In my opinion, your problems comes from your very complex pass section.
Please try to make your macro as simple as possible (even if it is not
perfect in terms of detecting whether it can executed or not!).
Example: the macro below splits a DocBook emphasis to 2 parts and
converts *second* part to an ulink.

<binding>
<keyPressed code="F2" />
<command name="test" />
</binding>
<command name="test">
<macro>
<sequence>
<command name="selectNode"
parameter="self[implicitElement] emphasis"/>
<test expression="($dotOffset > 0) and
($dotOffset < string-length($dot))"/>
<command name="split" parameter="[implicitElement]"/>
<command name="convert" parameter="[implicitElement] ulink"/>
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>

If you want to convert first part or if you want to wrap (instead of
converting) any of the split parts, this is easy to do.
