Moschou was using the [no-math] option of fontspec
which isn't available to me because I have chosen to
use a vanilla TeXLive distribution. I will wait until
TeXLive 2008 to update.

Sorry, I had misunderstood the concept of \mathrm. I
thought that the same font was used in \mathrm{} and
in normal equation mode outside \mathrm{} but just
that a different variant was used in each situation
(Minion Pro Italic versus Minion Pro Regular).
I think for now, I'll use the dirty hack of using
pdflatex and the preview package to export equations
by themselves and then use \XeTeXpdffile to include
them. It'll be tedious but I'm willing to try this for
now.
Thanks for your reply,
