with-param not working for apply-templates on XalanJ2?

I can't seem to get the with-param working with apply-templates. 
However, with-param works with call-template.  Can anyone show me why?

I've tried to apply the following style sheets:

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

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates>
      <xsl:with-param name="str" select="'a string'"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
    <!--
    <xsl:call-template name="text">
      <xsl:with-param name="str" select="'a string'"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
    -->
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="text" match="text">
    <xsl:param name="str"/>
    This is <xsl:value-of select="$str"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

with this XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<v3.document name="Index">
  <foo>
    <bar><text /></bar>
    <bar><text /></bar>
  </foo>
</v3.document>

Note that I have two instances of <text/> in the XML file.  Thus what I
would expect the output would be:

This is a string
This is a string

However, I got the following:

This is
This is

With the <xsl:apply-templates> line taken out and use the call template
instead, I got:

This is a string

which is what I expected.

It seems like I can't really use apply-templates and pass in the
parameter.  Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Please ignore this e-mail. I think I've figured it out.  It's the result
of not passing in the parameters in the nested element.  The str is not
visible when it passes to the <text/> element.
