[MarkLogic Dev General] Unexpected behavior

[spig]

The point is that the function is never called (it is throwing fn:error just
to prove that it's not called, errors or not). Also, there is no warning
that the function is not being called, or that there is an error in the
parameter. Anyone know why this is? Try running the code and you'll see what
I mean. It's almost like there is a hidden try/catch around my code - no
errors raised and doesn't show that nothing was called.
