2 is correct

@tunnel="yes" on xsl:param means take the tunnelled parameter and not
the local one.  Because you've not tunnelled that parameter (using
tunnel="yes" on xsl:with-param) then it takes the local copy, which is
2.

In other words, @tunnel on xsl:param is useless without a matching
@tunnel on xsl:with-param somewhere higher up the call stack
