Christian, thanks very much. I returned to my actual code, and it works with the latest snapshot dated today.
By the way, I also retried the variations I had created when trying to explore workarounds, and one of them still doesn't work with the latest snapshot. It's not blocking me, but in case it is helpful, I reduced it to another small query that reproduces the error with today's snapshot. I know you said you fixed part of the problem, so you might not be surprised that the following code still triggers the error. xquery version "3.1"; declare variable $variant := if (exists(function-lookup(QName('nonexistent','nonexistent'), 0))) then ( (: not relevant :) ) else function-lookup(QName('http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions','string'), 1); declare variable $variant-fcns := $variant; declare function local:fcn() { $variant-fcns('abc') }; local:fcn() The levels of indirection (variable, variable, function, function call) seem to be relevant for the problem. If I make the code more direct, it works.
