Adobe Reader 6.0.2 tells: Invalid color: colored pattern specified  
with uncolored pattern colorspace.

Using convert from ImageMagick 6.4.1 to convert your PDF file to JPEG  
I get:

    **** Warning: stream operator not terminated by valid EOL.

    **** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
    **** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
    **** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
    **** specification.

Looking into the PDF file I see that the bitmap comes inside a Flate  
encoded stream, which ends with the command endstream. I don't think  
this is correct, at least I've never seen a PDF file where the finish  
statement was part of the data, i.e., it was always on a separate  
line. Editing the PDF file in GNU Emacs by moving the endstream  
command to a single line does not create a valid PDF file.

It worked to convert (save as) slu.pdf in Preview a PNG file. Convert  
could convert it into another PDF file which XeTeX could include and  
create a PDF output file.

It even worked to save slu.pdf as PDF with a new name from Preview –  
although it's now "upgraded" to PDF 1.3 ... but it works for XeTeX!
