Yes ... because you are not considering the text nodes that exist between
the item elements.
>or is there a bug somewhere in my XSLT?
That depends ... it looks like in the template rule for <itemlist> you are
executing an <xsl:apply-templates/> for *all* children ... you might
consider just doing <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/> to only process
the children you want. I say "depends" because it is doing exactly what
you are asking for, you may just have to tweak what it is you are asking for.
I hope this helps.
