  Reread the spec !!!
In one case you pass a string ! A string has no base URI. In the other
case you pass a node set, then the nodes there have base URIs.

  And there is no notion of "current directory" at all in that processing
you have base URI for nodes. there are base URI for the node manipulated
which may come from the input XML data, or from the stylesheet, that's all
an XSLT processor knows of.

  Read the spec, understand it and then you will probably find why you
have a problem, how to solve it and how to avoid that in the future. Nothing
replace understanding a tool before using the tool.
