I get no problem, with this version of XeTeX under  TeXshop 2:

This is XeTeXk, Version 3.14159-2.1-0.871 (Web2C 7.5.2)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode


There is no dot-accent showing in the PDF, but that's to be expected.
TeX is looking for:

       \dot ->\mathaccent "745F\relax

Since  \mathaccent  is a TeX primitive, I cannot trace
this any further to see why the accent is not placed.



After upgrading to  XeTeX  0.94  I get the same output.
However, it took an awfully long time for the PDF to appear.

Again, no problem, but  \char"5F  now shows as the underscore character,
which is correct for a text-font.

Hope this helps,
