\documentclass{article}
\pdfpagewidth=20cm
%\pdfpageheight=15cm %needed too.
IMO this should be reported as a bug.
But what do I know... does this the same thing happen in pdftex?

I would say it is more a feature ;-)
For pdftex \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight are set in
pdftexconfig.tex to sensible default values e.g. A4paper. But the
initial values of \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight are 0pt in xetex.
Changing only \pdfpagewidth means that \pdfpageheight has still the
value 0pt - so it is quite good that xetex ignores this page size
and falls back to the default setting from dvipdfmx.cfg.

I can see no mention of page width. What is the XeTeX method
for setting the page width, analogous to PdfTeX's \pdfpagewidth,
please ? (Of course, I will also want to set the page
height !).

After looking at what geometry does, it seems that it works like in dvips,
i.e., by writing a \special in the xdv file. Line 1016 of geometry.sty says
\AtBeginDvi{\special{papersize=\the\paperwidth,\the\paperheight}}
and, of course, you can set as you prefer the two parameters. If you
compile
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\paperwidth=10cm \paperheight=20cm
\textwidth=.8\paperwidth \textheight=.8\paperheight
\calclayout
\AtBeginDvi{\special{papersize=\the\paperwidth,\the\paperheight}}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-50]
\end{document}
(which exploits the \calclayout macro of amsart, just to avoid computing
parameters), you'll see that everything is OK. With amsart one can also
use geometry, of course. With this package, \pdfpaperwidth and \pdfpaperheight
are defined to be the same as \paperwidth and \paperheight.
(Xe)LaTeX users would take care of non standard page sizes with geometry,
anyway. Plain TeX addicts should simply say
\special{papersize=width,height}

Hi Philip, I can see no mention of page width. What is the XeTeX method for setting the page width, analogous to PdfTeX's \pdfpagewidth, please ? (Of course, I will also want to set the page height !). Try the same ones: \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight.

So using a package like geometry should ``just work'' --- if you're using Plain
TeX it's bit more involved. Depending on how you're doing this and for what
purposes, you may need to add a couple of specials manually (I have to do that
to get the pdf trim, crop and bleed boxes set just so for pre-press).

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX equivalent to \pdfpagewidth ?
I now see that the necessary primitives are referenced on p.~54; it was clearly unfortunate that I searched for page width and not for the corresponding PdfTeX primitive in the first place !
