What do you exactly do?
AFAIR, there is option (something like) "Recreate format" in MiKTeX
Option.

The 'xelatex.ini' file is only needed when format 'xelatex' is built.

Overwrite MiKTeX 'xelatex.ini' file with one taken from SVN.
Recreate format 'xelatex'.
(optional) upgrade polyglossia.

Note: this would work only if between versions 0.9995.1 and 0.9995.2
were not inctoduced new commands (e.g. to make \newXeTeX... commands
work).
