Sorry for not being clear about the specific problem I encountered which
is almost certainly caused by the version mismatch, but I didn't know if
that classified as a bug proper - please see the description of the
problem in the message included.

produce a problem of that kind in most cases of version mismatch within
xsltproc?

  Looks 1/ old 2/ bad (the library used an the one the application was
compiled again do not match)
