Howdy,
Compiles correctly here with a fully updated TeX Live 2016:
article.cls 2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
size10.clo 2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
fontspec.sty 2017/02/12 v2.6 Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
expl3.sty 2017/02/10 v6878 L3 programming layer (loader)
expl3-code.tex 2017/02/10 v6878 L3 programming layer
l3xdvipdfmx.def
xparse.sty 2017/02/10 v6878 L3 Experimental document command parser
fontspec-xetex.sty 2017/02/12 v2.6 Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
fontenc.sty
tuenc.def 2017/01/24 v2.0c Standard LaTeX file
fontspec.cfg
so I've got updated file versions. there were a few problems that cropped up with the 2.5x versions.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
