I can confirm too!

Doing a 'sudo fmtutil-sys --missing' creates xelatex.fmt. (xetex.fmt is 
never created.)

I think the simple update to the install script could be to check the 
existence of fmtutil-sys. If fmtutil-sys exists, then it has to be 
used. (Since XeTeX is installed system-wide only.)
