The output of xdvipdfmx after running
xelatex -no-pdf filename.tex
xdvipdfmx -v filename.xdv
is
$ xdvipdfmx -v filename.xdv

letter.xdv -> test-letter.pdf
<AGL:texglyphlist.txt>[1(Image:/Users/peder/Library/texmf/tex/latex/

** WARNING ** Didn't find "endobj".
** ERROR ** pdf_link_obj(): passed invalid object.
A quick look at the pdf (in a text edtor) reveals in the first line:
%PDF-1.2
I can compile the same tex-file using pdflatex without a hitch.
xdvipdfmx is version 0.7.3.
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea version 3.5.6dev
Again, any help appreciated.
