Does "the subdirectories," also include the subdirectories
\texmf-local\fonts\opentype? Then I would find it odd that xetex
can't use them.

In miktex fc-cache/xetex use fonts.conf which is one of the trees in
fontconfig\config. Local directories can be added in
localfonts.conf. 

I don't know how texlive is doing it, but I think it is also able to
use directories in texmf-trees beside the main font directory of
windows. I would search for such conf-files. You could also ask on
the texlive mailing list.
