Sorry for the delay in looking into this. Michel Goossens sent me a  
patch to fix this problem. I never updated the vertical feature to  
work with the xdvipdfmx driver -- I must have missed the announcement  
about that.

The version of fontspec in the svn repository will now work with this  
example.

Cheers,
Will
