I tried to compile document to XDV format by xelatex (TL10 and TL11),
both work fine, but xdvipdfmx from TL11 doesn't work on either XDV.

IMO, no it doesn't. On my system the -sOutputFile part is ok (in sense:
it uses single '/'), besides AFAIU double slashes won't hurt (many times
use '//' somewhere in path for 'coreutils' programs).

Is there a way to debug xdvipdfmx run on XDV file? I want to save
intermediate files (xdvipdfmx from TL11 keeps files in /tmp but
xdvipdfmx from TL10 runs fine and delete all intermediate files in
/tmp).
