The cause of this is in the file beamerbasecompatibility.sty, which 
contains these lines:

Since arabxetex actually uses \textroman (with \textlatin as an alias), 
I will simply remove \textlatin in the next update of arabxetex. In the 
time being, you can simply delete lines 478-481 in arabxetex.sty.
