If I use XeLaTeX to compile this (as with /some/ other like files) I get 
a broken pipe. I don't know why. So, the log output is the same as what 
you have above with the additional:


Output file removed.

Yes --- compile the file (as I did successfully here) with pdfLaTeX 
instead of XeLaTeX. Someone else, however, will have to say /why/ 
pdfpages and xdvipdfmx don't get along together.
