You need to enable "extended mode" (as in e-TeX), by using the -etex  
option or prefixing the filename with "*". Thus,

    xetex -ini -etex xetex.ini
or
    xetex -ini \*xetex.ini

(If you use the fmtutil utility to build formats, it should have the  
correct commands in the fmtutil.cnf file.)

This looks to me like you have a mismatch between versions of the  
xetex binary and the supporting macro files (in particular, unicode- 
letters.tex). I see that your xetex version is 0.995; this means it  
is not completely up to date, as the TL repository contains 0.996.  
You should ensure you have fully up-to-date sources, and rebuild.

Actually, it looks like you also have an older xetex.ini; with the  
version currently in the TL repository, you would have got other  
errors as well. (I see you have xetex.ini in the current directory  
where you're running this command, which means the version in the TL  
tree is being ignored.)

HTH,
