I can not reproduce the problem either, but evidently your problem is with the program that produces PDF from XDV (either xdvipdfmx or xdv2pdf), not with XeTeX itself. That's what the last two lines you're quoting mean. It would really help if you could tell us what version of these programs you're using.
