\fontspec just sets the current font; it may get reset at various 
times, such as by the {table} environment. (You could re-issue the 
\fontspec command within the table environment, but obviously that's 
not the kind of answer you're looking for.)

For a "global" setting that changes LaTeX's idea of the default font, 
you should be using \setromanfont instead.
