 What I read from the spec is:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#booleans

 "If one object to be compared is a node-set and the other is a number,
  then the comparison will be true if and only if there is a node in
  the node-set such that the result of performing the comparison on the
  number to be compared and on the result of converting the string-value
  of that node to a number using the number function is true."

the node set has only one text node. The string value of that node is
"A" so that should lead to NaN, right. So it seems it's a bug and bugzilla
might be in order,

  thanks,

Daniel
