The following apply-templates:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$c"/>

How did you declare $c?

Is not getting me to:

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I'm not sure what is wrong.  I am apply-templates with a variable and not
the original document tree.  Is this the problem?

It is not prohibited at all provided your $c is of type node-set. If it isn't a node-set, you should be getting a runtime error.

Remember that node-set variables are just collections of pointers into the tree, a node is never taken "out" of a tree ... when you process a node from within the tree or from a node-set variable the same result occurs because the node is just the node sitting in the tree.
