Which must be a bug. saxon returns a different result.

Using distinct-values to group by id could be another option, though
maybe not the fastest:
for $id in distinct-values(/items//id)
let $itemsById := /items/item[id = $id]
return
$itemsById[version = max($itemsById/version)]
You should have an index on id and version in any case.
