Xe(La)TeX is faithfully reproducing the characters it is given to  
print; but your bibliography style uses `...' around titles, on the  
assumption that the font used will have the proper quotation marks in  
place of these characters. Traditional TeX fonts do, but Unicode  
fonts don't.

To handle this, you can use the "Mapping=tex-text" option when  
loading your fonts. This activates a mapping process that replaces  
TeX-style quotes with the proper Unicode characters, as well as  
dealing with "the TeX way" of typing en- and em-dashes and a few  
other things.

Either add a \defaultfontfeatures command:

	\usepackage{fontspec}
	\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
	\setromanfont[Ligatures={Common}, Numbers={OldStyle}]{Hoefler Text}

or apply this specifically to the fonts you're using for text where  
you want to have the replacements happen:

	\usepackage{fontspec}
	\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text, Ligatures={Common}, Numbers= 
{OldStyle}]{Hoefler Text}

HTH,
