First, section 25.1 of the XSLT 2.0 specification states:

Character mapping is not applied to characters for which output escaping
has been disabled

Secondly, URI escaping.

With your first link, the serializer knows it is generating a URI-valued
attribute, so it applies %HH escaping as required by the spec.

With your second link, generated using disable-output-escaping, the
serializer doesn't know it's a URI-valued attribute, so the %HH escaping
doesn't happen.

It seems you don't want the %HH escaping to happen (you don't say why).
If that's the case, you can prevent it using the escape-uri-attributes
attribute on xsl:output.
