xpath queries

I think that these two queries should return the same results:

1. /root/title[text() = 'A Test Record']/parent::root/parent::*
2. /root/title[text() = 'A Test Record']/parent::root/parent::node()

on the xml:
<root>
   <title>A Test Record</title>
</root>

Query 2 returns the document root and query 1 returns nothing when 
executing this query with xalan 2.5.1.  The method I used is 
org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI.selectNodeList(Node,String).

thanks,
