Minimal patch for XPath position() function

I will put a related fix and test cases on github for review, but this simple
patch should be enough to get your [position()=n] predicates working, if your
test case is a good representation of the problem you have in your application.
There is also a workaround, by the way, if you are at liberty to remove the
explicit reference to the position() function, as the [n] notation is actually
interpretted differently and appears to have been corrected for reverse axes.

More testing is probably needed on this, and especially for other axes such as
ancestor-or-self and preceeding. It seems, in my assessment, that optimization
attempts and uncertainty about this ordering issue have left some of this
implementation difficult to inspect for correctness and small boundary errors.
