I guess it's way too late to rebuild anything at this point?
Having at last had a chance to download an .iso test image and
install a "typical" scheme (usually, I just run from a subversion
checkout), I found that the ifxetex package was not included,
although xetex and various associated packages were present. This
leads to a failure with packages such as fontspec, which use
ifxetex.sty to check the engine.
I suppose the "correct" thing to do would be to define ifxetex as a
dependency of fontspec, xltxtra, and any other packages that require
it; but a simpler workaround would be to add ifxetex explicitly to
collection-xetex. If there will be another rebuild of the packages
for any reason, I'd like to see this fixed.
