CI and release builds for Linux are currently done on AlmaLinux 8 (which 
likely has an older version of xsltproc), but developers use all kinds 
of distros with various versions of xsltproc.

It happens at times that people using very bleeding-edge distros run 
into specific issues first before they're fixed.

Your above version info however matches exactly the one I get for 
`xsltproc --version` on Debian testing, where I didn't see the problem 
you described yet, so maybe something else might play a role in addition?
