<xsl:if test="string-length((../memotext) > 126)"> <br /></xsl:if>
(../memotext) > 126
will take the string value of that element convert it to a number
(probably getting NaN) and then compare with 126
so this is probably false
string-length((../memotext) > 126)
first converts its argument to a string, "false" and then takes its
length so this is 5
using a number in a test attribute it's true if the number isn't zero.
You have the brackets in the wrong place...
test="string-length(../memotext) > 126">
