Description

When the pattern match="descendant::text()[1]" is used in a template rule, then

(a) there is a spurious warning that "the descendant axis starting at a text node will never select anything"

(b) the pattern never matches anything.

Both effects are caused by an incorrect type inference.

Added to W3C test suite as test case match-236.
