It's a bug in libxslt. A new bug introduced in libxslt 10115 (1.1.15).

I tried testing with on my system with xsltproc and the libxslt
1.1.15 library, and got the same segfault and error message as you.
Then I changed a symlink to point xsltproc at the 1.1.14 library
instead, and everything worked as expected.

So it should be reported to the libxslt developers.

If you don't want to deal with reporting it yourself, please let
me know, and I'll file a bug report myself.
