the only problem with your solution is that you create copies of the
original nodes rather than references to them.

Try instead:

<xsl:variable name="selection"
	select="$selection_unread[filter='unread'] |
 		  $selection_unreplied[filter='unreplied'] |
		  $selection_all[not(filter='unread' or filter='unreplied')]"/>
