On the command line, it seems to be OK. In emacs, it does not work,  
alas... Still, it was nice to see
the file run through xelatex without a problem. As it happened, there
were no errors in it, so I did not run into the bug until later.

I wondered about something like that -- xe(la)tex thinks that it is  
looking for a file called 'interaction=nonstopmode'
which caused me to wonder about how this was handed off by emacs to xe 
(la)tex...
