This definitely works for me on Linux:

------------------------------
    def test_exslt_str_attribute_replace(self):
        tree = self.parse('<a><b>B</b><c>C</c></a>')
        style = self.parse('''\
  <xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0"
      xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
      xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
      extension-element-prefixes="str">

      <xsl:template match="/">
        <h1 class="{str:replace('abc', 'b', 'X')}">test</h1>
      </xsl:template>

  </xsl:stylesheet>''')

        st = etree.XSLT(style)
        res = st(tree)
        self.assertEquals('''\
<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<h1 class="aXc">test</h1>\n''',
                          str(res))
------------------------------

May be a problem with the Windows build?
