in what situations would the following

return true,

while the following

<xsl:value-of

select="$moduleDoc//value[@name=concat(local-name(parent::*),local-name())]"/>

does not return the text value of the node.

The portion "parent::*" returns the parent of the current node in the first expression and the parent of <value> in the second expression. Similarly the "local-name()" returns different values in both expressions.

Did you perhaps want for the second one the following?

select="$moduleDoc//value[@name=concat(local-name(current()/parent::*),local-name(current()))]

I hope this helps.
