Typically, that means you're using <xsl:value-of> instead of
<xsl:copy-of>. In your case, the reason seems to be different.

This differs from your original example. You're missing the <a> element.
(Maybe it got eaten in the mail processing chain.) Xalan-J 2.7.1 and
LibXSLT 1.1.24 both ignore this attribute. Saxon 6.5 issues a warning:

   Cannot write an attribute node when no element start tag is open

I suggest you adjust your code.

By the way, if you pass the parameter as you intend it to appear in the
output, spare yourself the hassle of exsl:node-set() plus identity
transform and use <xsl:copy-of> as in the following example.

In addition, use literal XML for the parameter instead of constructing
it using <xsl:attribute>. That's much more readable. Use the latter
method only if dynamic computation of the attribute name is required.
