I reported it to your Saxon list ;)

Btw, I found (well, ehhrrrmm, David did, actually) the following 
workaround for the time being:

<xsl:template name="main" >
   <xsl:call-template name="alt-main" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="alt-main">
   ... all code from the original main here ....
</xsl:template>

Now I can safely override the "alt-main" in the initial stylesheet. 
Overriding "main" is not possible (and for my own implementation, I 
cannot safely change the name), but this works pretty well.
