Try using the number function:

sum(for $a in doc("/tmp/data.xml")/a/b
return number($a))

From my reading of the XQuery type convering rules, you shouldn't need 
to use the number function.  So this is a bug in Qexo, but not one that 
has a quick fix.  (It probably won't get fixed in 1.8.)  Luckily, there 
is a trivial work-around, and the work-around is both portable and 
arguably makes the intent of the code clearer.
