Upgrade! The current version is 6.4.3.

I suspect the error is from the way you are using this variable, not from
the way you are setting it up. Within this xsl:variable, the two calls on
saxon:node-set() seem to be unnecessary: it's never necessary to call
saxon:node-set on something that is already a node-set, which both these
expressions are.

I'm afraid I don't know quite what you mean by conditional variable
assigment. Have you considered the syntax:

<xsl:variable name="v" select="$ns1[$condition] | $ns2[not($condition)]"/>
