[XeTeX] The memoir \makeindex command and Fontspec

[Malcolm Ross]

I have been trying to create multiple indexes in a Memoir class  
document I am writing. The Memoir class has its own built-in index- 
creation mechanisms. The default index (flora.idx for my document  
flora.tex) is created by placing the command \makeindex in the  
document preamble. A second index can be created with, for example,  
\makeindex[plants], creating an index file plants.idx. And so on.

This, at least, is what the manual says. But \makeindex[plants]  
generates:

!LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}

Initially I thought I was making some obvious mistake, despite my  
reading of the manual. However, I have experimented and it seems that  
this command works fine if Fontspec is not called. I am loath to  
abandon Fontspec. Life would be much harder without it. Can anyone  
suggest a workaround? Or an I making an obvious mistake?
