Ulrike, thank you for the snippet. Because it ran, it encouraged me to 
play around some more, and I came to the conclusion that polyglossia 
had to be called early on in the preamble. For example, this order 
currently works for me:

  %!TEX TS-program = xetex
  %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

  \documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article}
  \usepackage{xltxtra,xunicode}
  \usepackage{polyglossia} 
    \setmainlanguage{english}
  \usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,sorting=nyt]{biblatex} 
  \usepackage{comment,csquotes,url,fullpage}  
  \usepackage{xeCJK} 
  \newfontfamily\Chinese{AR PL KaitiM GB}
  ...
