Many thanks for these suggestions, Ross --- and I think Gareth is going 
to have the solution to all these incompatibilities.

But do you know if the final use of  \XeTeXinterchartokenstate is needed 
at all? I mean, does the grouping of the environment itself limit the 
use of this \XeTeXinterchartokenstate so that it really isn't necessary 
to "turn it off"? It seems unnecessary, since removing 
\XeTeXinterchartokenstate=-1 makes no difference, i.e., it gets turned 
off anyway.
