Indeed, this is the "diacritics" feature, which is of limited  
usefulness in XeTeX. You also get problems with strings like "o/" and  
"O/", which are turned into slashed characters. Very weird the first  
time you run into it!

Here's how to fix it:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Diacritics=Decompose]{Palatino}
\begin{document}
im Klett--Cotta Verlag
\end{document}
