Yep the difference between 2.1d and 2.1e is not relevant to XeTeX.

Herb is on MacOS X, as am I.
So there must be a difference due to platform, or to support
files used by XeTeX but not showing in the .log  file.
That is potentially disturbing, though the effect on typesetting
seems to be imperceptible.
