Must be that, as the example works fine for me too, on Mac OS 10.5.2,  
with identical console output up to the error, using either xdv2pdf or  
xdvipdfmx. See console output below.

What's surprising is the warning related to unavailability of slanted  
shape for Hoefler. I imagine fontspec is now trying to load this shape  
each time a font call such as \setmainfont is met. That's a bit odd,  
given slanted shape is not as standard as regular, bold, italic and  
bold italic. I remember vaguely seeing a thread related to slanted  
shape in fontspec recently, but I must admit I didn't pay attention to  
it.
