This really looks rather odd.

I just checkout up-to-date SVN version (XeTeX revision 547;
xdvipdfmx revision 103) and did some test with it.


\mag=2000
\pdfpagewidth=100truemm
\pdfpageheight=200truemm
100truemm x 200truemm\vfill\eject

\pdfpagewidth=100mm
\pdfpageheight=200mm
100mm x 200mm\vfill\eject

\special{pdf:pagesize width 333mm height 222mm}
333mm x 222mm\vfill\eject

\special{papersize=333mm,222mm}
333mm x 222mm\vfill\eject
\bye


This plain TeX code creates pages with the following sizes:

page 1: 200x400 mm
page 2: 400x800 mm
page 3: 666x444 mm
page 4: 333x222 mm

Hmm. Should be a bug, shouldn't it?

Ciao
