[XeTeX] Strange Euler Script font behaviour

Hi
What is going on?
\font\1=eusm10 at 12 pt\1
ABCD
\bye
In pdfTeX, I get "ABCD" in the Euler Script font.
In XeTeX, I get "BCDE" (in Euler Script again) with messed up spacing.
Given such a minimal document (no LaTeX encodings or anything!), I'm
totally confused what's happening. But that might be my (plain) TeX
ignorance showing.
Is this a bug? It's quite significant, since euler.sty gets about a
dozen of its symbols from this font, which render incorrectly
(including \{ \} | \aleph \Re \Im etc.). Not to mention not being able
to use the Euler Script font itself.
Regards,
Will
PS Also, I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed before since I
-thought- people had been using Euler to blend better with other text
fonts, e.g., Hoefler Text.
