the posted xpath was wrong, the evaluater was right. I'm not sure what
is "that's" in your quote.
b[preceding-sibling::*
selects _all_ preceding siblings of th eb
so
b[preceding-sibling::*[local-name()= 'a']
selects all b with any a earlier.
so you need [1] and also it's always better to use self:: than name() or
local-name()
//b[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::a]
