I had this param in my template.

And this exactly as you said but...

I know that the test is true because I've :

         <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="chap.title.properties">
             <xsl:if test="$pagewide != 0">
                 <xsl:attribute name="span">all</xsl:attribute>
                 <xsl:text>FooBar</xsl:text>
             </xsl:if>
             <xsl:apply-templates select="$node" mode="title.markup"/>
         </fo:block>

And the FooBar appears juste before the word "Index" but still right  
align on the first column.

My titlepage spec define, for index, the pagewide param, set to 1.

<xsl:template name="index.titlepage.recto">
   <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; xsl:use- 
attribute-sets="index.titlepage.recto.style" margin-left="0pt" font- 
family="${title.fontset}">
     <xsl:call-template name="chapappendix.title">
       <xsl:with-param name="node" select="ancestor-or- 
self::d:index[1]"/>
       <xsl:with-param name="pagewide" select="1"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </fo:block>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="d:indexinfo/d:subtitle">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="index.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"  
select="d:indexinfo/d:subtitle"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="d:docinfo/d:subtitle">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="index.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"  
select="d:docinfo/d:subtitle"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="d:info/d:subtitle">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="index.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"  
select="d:info/d:subtitle"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="d:subtitle">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="index.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"  
select="d:subtitle"/>
     </xsl:when>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

It still very strange for me.
