Since you are matching an mml:mo element, my guess would be that you
need to count mml:mo elements - change preceding::mo to
preceding::mml:mo.

But then what's this nonsense:

<xsl:text>&lt;form name = "</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
> select ="$moWithParen"/><xsl:text>"&gt;</xsl:text>

This isn't the way to output an element to the result tree!
