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.
