Yes, it is foolish to use the OT1 encoded Computer Modern fonts with
XeTeX. So fontspec loads the Latin Modern fonts instead. Since the
next released version of XeTeX will use xdvipdfmx as the default
driver on Mac OS X, this will be less of an obvious problem in the
future. (And you can always use [cm-default] if you just have to use
the obsolete fonts for exact backwards compatibility in some bizarre
circumstance.)
