Thanks a lot, Alexey! Your reply was the most informative. I found that similar errors are issued for many OTF fonts which contain Cyrillic glyphs. Hence, most radical solution would be for the polyglossia to issue a warning rather that an error as suggested in http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-March/012365.html
I guess that I could correct the problem by editing the polyglossia myself but I don't want to do that since the polyglossia is often modified by its developers. I experimented with \newfontfamily trying to define the \cyrillicfont command as you proposed but did not succeed. Can anybody help me?

This problem has been discussed once: see for example http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-March/012365.html If I understand correctly, the workaround is to explicitly define \newfontfamily\cyrillicfont{Courier New} . -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru>
