I can't reproduce the problem. 

The following works fine for me and use testimg.pdf in the subfolder
test:

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{test/}}

\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=4cm]{testimg}
\end{document}

I tested with xetex 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.7 from miktex 2.7 and 
xetex 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.1 from miktex 2.8. 

The file list was identical in both cases:

 article.cls    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
  size10.clo    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
graphicx.sty    1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
  keyval.sty    1999/03/16 v1.13 key=value parser (DPC)
graphics.sty    2009/02/05 v1.0o Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
    trig.sty    1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC)
graphics.cfg    2007/01/18 v1.5 graphics configuration of
teTeX/TeXLive
   xetex.def    2009/11/22 v0.94 LaTeX color/graphics driver for
XeTeX (RRM/JK)
