Hm.  Not quite sure why it doesn't work, but it is
presumably in how variable declarations get mapped to
Symbol objects in the global Environment.

It works if you compile it:

java -jar kawa-1.7.90.jar --xquery --main -C input.xql
java input

I'm in the middle of re-vamping XQuery modules and the
prologue, so it may not get fixed until that is done,
But (alas) your testcase doesn't work in my working copy
either, but I'll take a look.

Hopefully compiling the file is an acceptable work-around.
