Problem with format-number 'converting string'

Trying to use format-number in a calculation to format a number to 4dp, however the function is complaining:

XForms error: Cannot convert string "3,619.6328" to a double

The setvalue is:

<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('instance')/value3" value="format-number(xs:decimal('3619.632755555'), '###,##0.0000')"/>

Full xhtml to run in sandbox is here test.xhtml

Stick any number in the first box, then any number in the second and move out.

Any reason why, even though I ask for a decimal type, does this read as a string?

Chris,

I don't think that's a bug.

When I enter a value in the second xforms:input field,
you are storing into value3 a formatted value which contains commas
(like the example you provide, "3,619.6328").

Then your first xforms:output passes this value to the format-number
function, which expects a numeric value as first argument. "3,619.6328"
is not a numeric value because it contains this funny comma, hence the
error.
