If these are contextual alternates (you can try the option Contextuals=NoAlternate for fontspec), then it seems that xetex included in TL2010 uses them by default. I have noticed the same thing using the latest Microsoft fonts (Candara etc.) for Greek texts -- and it is not a matter of fontspec.
If this is indeed the case, I am not sure this behaviour is welcome: first, this is not what used to happen before TL2010, so many documents will now produce different results; and second, these forms are actually "alternates" and should really not be the defaults!
