Any idea what this means please?

I hope it means you are using an old version.
It also means that the old version might have had a bug. It's not a
user-meaningful message, it means something has been done in the wrong
sequence internally.

FYI, Resolving patterns was something I had to do before XSLT was changed to
ban variable references in the match pattern of xsl:key and xsl:template. It
basically did a partial evaluation of the pattern, in which variables were
dereferenced. Handling something like <xsl:template match="xxx[$a]"> was
pretty horrendous because you didn't even know if you had a numeric
predicate or a boolean one until you resolved it. A lot of nasty code in
this area has disappeared.
