Saxon 9.8 position()'s "context" regression
100%
Description
When using XPath 2.0 if and satisfies structures in conjunction with position() my stylesheet generates different output in PE 9.7.0.21 and HE 9.8.0.8.
The position() might operate in a different context in 9.8.
Sorry, if this change relates to the XSLT/XPath 3.0 implementation.

Thanks for reporting it.
It appears to be a problem with the new code for loop-lifting optimizations that was introduced in Saxon 9.8. The expression "position() = 1" is being lifted out of the "some ... satisfies ..." loop, meaning that it is only evaluated once on the first iteration of the loop. But this involves saving the dynamic context of the expression, and the code for saving the dynamic context is not written to handle expressions that depend on the value of position() or last().
