My understanding is that this:

 <xsl:variable name="modId">
 	<xsl:value-of select="@Id"/>
 </xsl:variable>

assigns a result tree fragment, not a string, to the variable modId.  If you
change it to this:

 <xsl:variable name="modId" select="@Id"/>

You will probably get different results.

Or, you might try converting the variable values to strings within the
comparison:

 <xsl:when test="normalize-space(string($modId)) =
normalize-space(string($currentMod))">
