[XeTeX] xdvipdfmx doesn't seem to respect PDF crop areas

Thanks for all the help Akira; I definitely appreciate it.  
Unfortunately, this technique does not appear to work for me. (Did it  
work for you on the test case? Perhaps I am missing a step somewhere,  
or maybe you have a newer version of xdvipdfmx than the one I have  
that came from Jonathan's installer?)

  I've tried a few different permutations (\usepackage[dvipdfm] 
{graphicx}, manually specifying the bounding box with a [bb = ...]  
argument to \includegraphics, ebb with and without -c, and so forth)  
but nothing's working yet for the test case.
