The automatic selection of bold and italic faces using the /B and /I  
modifiers (rather than loading the fonts via explicit names) seems to  
fail in some cases, particularly non-Latin fonts. The workaround  
(until I fix XeTeX) is to use the fontspec BoldFont=... option to  
specify the bold font (check the fontspec documentation in case I  
haven't remembered this accurately).
