Could that be from Philipp Lehman's csquotes package?

In this way, in French you would get guillemots, in US-English
something like `` foo ", in Dutch ,, foo ", and in other languages
other appropriate signs.

There is no problem to *use* fontenc with xelatex. fontspec is
actually loading itself. And I'm loading it to use my chess fonts.
The problem is that by loading it with the option T1 *after*
fontspec, T1 will be the active encoding at the start of the
document. If you want another encoding you must either change the
loading order or activate EU1 with \fontencoding{EU1}\selectfont.
It is like loading \usepackage[ngerman,english,russian]{babel}:
The last language loaded is active until you change it with
\selectlanguage.

Because you are using T1 font encoding. For xetex you should use
EU1. If you need fontenc for one or the other reason (you don't need
it in your example) load it before fontspec. Remove also the lmodern
package. fontspec already use this fonts as default.
Many thanks to you and to all others who replied.

Howdy,
Because you are mixing pdflatex and xelatex. Don't use the lmodern package (I
believe fontspec defaults to the otf version of latin modern if you don't
specify a main/roman font) and certainly don't use the fontenc package.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
«A»
\end{document}
Finally, make sure you are saving the file as UTF-8.
Good Luck,

Because you're using fontenc. Don't. Just let fontspec do the job.
