The patch making this bug "fixedinmaster" is "minimal invasive" and should be save. I recommend backporting to get back the desired behaviour (keep utf8x encoding with Xetex+TeX fonts as power-user option) also for the 2.2 series. (As this is what we had in 2.1.x, too). I dont suspect any changes required but running the complete test suite before is recommended. (I am on holiday, offline, for two more weeks) Günter
