I can reproduce the problem with a current miktex. 

I could process the file by including matrix.pdf with pdflatex in a
matrix2.pdf and this including this in the main document processed
by xelatex (I had to use the option --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -V5"
as pdflatex generated a 1.5.-pdf).

xelatex itself (with option --no-pdf) worked fine. It was xdvipdfmx
which complained. So I would at first make a bug report to the
xdvipdfmx maintainer. 

(My first suspect would be the object number: The problematic pdf
start with 0 0 obj, the other (also the new matrix2.pdf) have a
number different from zero). But I don't know much about pdf. This
could also be irrelevant.)
