Following on what Richard wrote,

Without specific differences it's hard for me to comment.

Visual XSLT doesn't implement a transformation engine;  it simply
wraps the Xalan and MS System.Xml.Xsl engines (but not any of
the MSXML COM-based engines).  This might be an issue across
these engines.  What happens when you run your transformations
from the command-line?
