xsltc fails conf test position90, <xsl:for-each select="chapter/descendant::footnote[6]">

           Summary: xsltc fails conf test position90, <xsl:for-each
                    select="chapter/descendant::footnote[6]">
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tom.amiro@sun.com


Xsltc is not selecting the correct node (the 6th descendant footnote node) 
per the instruction 

  <xsl:for-each select="chapter/descendant::footnote[6]">

It should select the node whose value is "aloha".

Here's a test session showing the problem followed by the test files.
