You may try to use utf8accents.sty, which might take care of this. It 
looks as if ä is understood as \"a, whereas XeTeX needs proper UTF-8 
input ä. utf8accents.sty was designed to deal with this situation.

You do need to replace all -- by –, — by —, ` by ‘ and ' by ’ etc. Same 
reason: XeTeX nees proper UTF-8 to work. But in that case 
utf8accents.sty cannot help.

In a rush,
