This is correct. XeTeX is used to generate PDF, `hypertex' is
a driver for DVI mode. You can easily omit the option, because
XeTeX is automatically detected.

If you want to process the file without XeTeX in DVI mode
without changing options, you can use
  driverfallback=hypertex
Then this driver setting is ignored, if XeTeX, pdfTeX in PDF mode,
VTeX are detected.

In your option list you have forgotten several commas.
Also breaklinks is more an internal option that reflects the
abilities of the driver. It can't enable properly broken
links, if the driver does not support it.

I don't get any errors:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
  pdfpagemode=UseOutlines,
  bookmarks,
  bookmarksopen,
  pdfstartview=FitH,
  linktocpage=false,
  % colorlinks,
  % linkcolor=black,
  % citecolor=black,
  % urlcolor=black,
  pdfborder={0 0 0},
  plainpages=false,
  pdfpagelabels=true,
]
{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
  pdftitle={Document Preparation for Classical Languages},
  pdfauthor={David J.Perry},
  pdfsubject={Creating text in classical, biblical, and medieval studies},
  pdfkeywords={Latin, Greek, Hebrew, classics, medieval, biblical,
    fonts, Unicode, OpenType},
}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
