[lucida] problems using lucidabr with XeLaTeX

There's something wrong with the accented characters of Lucida fonts when used with XeLaTeX. The code

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage{lucidabr}
  \begin{document}
    Lorem ipsum
  \end{document}

works correctly, but adding an accent to the "i"

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage{lucidabr}
  \begin{document}
    Lorem ípsum
  \end{document}

broke everything. The screen output ends as:

  ...
  (/home/fermin/.texmf-config/tex/latex/lucidabr/lmrhlcm.fd)
  (/home/fermin/.texmf-config/tex/latex/lucida/t1hlh.fd) [1] (./test-luc.aux) )

  Output file removed.
  Output written on test-luc.pdf (1 page).
  Transcript written on test-luc.log.

no PDF file is output ("Output file removed"). after some googling I learnt that the assembly of glyphs into the Pdf is handled by xdvipdfmx, so I tried
