Does it work if you use a LaTeX/dvipdfm process rather than pdfLaTeX?

If not, that's your answer; the XeTeX hyperref stuff is using the 
hyperref dvipdfm driver and interpreting the \specials that produces. 
Maybe those \specials aren't placed properly.

If it does work, then I'll need to look at the .xdv file of such a job 
and try to see where it's going awry.
