This only works because you are actually not loading xunicode at
all. xunicode makes its declarations for  encoding "\UTFencname".
The default for \UTFencname is U, but fontspec changes it to EU1. So
you have a lot of definitions for the encoding U which will never be
used and none for encoding EU1. 

So when you later use \d there is no definition for encoding EU1 and
the default definition of OT1 (\DeclareTextAccentDefault{\d}{OT1} in
latex) is used. That works (and is also suggested in the link I
mentioned).

But you are paying a high price. A lot of other commands declared by
xunicode will not work, Try e.g. this once with xunicode and once
without:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
%\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\textyen

\end{document}
