That's bizarre.  XML 1.0 definitely allows colons in names, though it warns
that they're experimental and will probably allow their use only with
namespaces in a revision or so.

Did you include the xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" attribute
on your xsl:stylesheet element?  Maybe something's angry about your using a
namespace prefix without declaring it.

Otherwise, it looks like a bug.
