In the following stylesheet, I expect the two
<xsl:value-of> calls to result different results, but it doesn't.
Checking with the local guru and against Saxon and Xalan, we
think libxslt is wong here.

The stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="message">
<ROOT>
        <ELEMENT1>
                <xsl:variable name="test-var">
                        <xsl:call-template name="test1"/>
                </xsl:variable>
                <xsl:value-of select="$test-var"/>
        </ELEMENT1>
        <ELEMENT2>
                <xsl:variable name="test-var">
                        <xsl:call-template name="test2"/>
                </xsl:variable>
                <xsl:value-of select="$test-var"/>
        </ELEMENT2>
</ROOT>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="test1">
Some result
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="test2">
other one
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


The XML-Input:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<message/>

This is with libxslt 1.0.0, but also shows with 1.0.1
