Thanks a ton, Alex! I think I wasn't putting the right thing after the
preceding-sibling::<this> part.

Stephanie,
Assuming that the following XPath expression returns the "choice" node
you are interested in:
instance('my-instance')/setup[os='windows']/choices/choice
[special='true']
To get its position amongst other "choices" in the same "setup", you can
write:
count(instance('my-instance')/setup[os='windows']/choices/choice
[special='true']/preceding-sibling::choice) + 1
