[Q] 1.7.3 - Fault with "substring" function?

I'm getting a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException trying to use the XPath  
substring(string, start, length) function.  I've tried a simple:

	<xsl:variable name="test_variable" select="substring("1234",1,2)" />

And this returns the same stack trace (see below).

Is this a known issue, an unknown issue or stupidity on my part?

If it isn't entirely my stupidity, can someone suggest a temporary workaround?

Thanks,

Stuart.
