I don't think that query uses the node identity operator: each of those "=="
is just two adjacent equal signs in the ElementContent of an
ElementConstructor. Instead, try:

    let $a := <foo/>
    let $b := <foo/>
    return
        <out>
            <one>{ $a == $a }</one>
            <two>{ $a == $b }</two>
        </out>

(The only difference is the insertion of braces.) For this, I think the
result should be:

    <out>
        <one>true</one>
        <two>false</two>
    </out>
