Ok I now can reproduce it. It even fails with a simple \input. And it
work as soon as I add an additional empty line after the text. Adding a
\section helps too but only in the sense that now a page is produced,
but the last line is still lost. 

I remember a similar problem which was discussed in d.c.t.t: In the
following example the "\end{document}" was lost -- but only if it was on
the last line in the document and also only if a \XeTeXinputencoding is
involved. 

\XeTeXinputencoding "cp1252" 

\documentclass{report} 

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
\usepackage{fontspec} 
\setmainfont{Myriad Pro} 

\begin{document} 
Test Ö 

\end{document}

It looks as if the switch between encodings is eating the last line.
