The problem is here:

>        <xsl:when
>           
>
test="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//zeroOrMore//

> *[self=current()]">

You are testing if the current node has child named "self" and its
string value is equal to the string value of the current node.

Obviously, you wanted:

/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//zeroOrMore//
*[generate-id() = generate-id( current())]
