Then isn't this a bug with LaTeX's \chapter command? For example, this
has the same problem (no fancychap, no fancyhdr):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
  xetex,paper=a4paper,
  centering,twoside,
  includehead,nofoot,
  margin=15mm,
  nomarginpar,
  showframe
  }
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}%
\chapter{This Chapter}
\ldots first page \ldots
\clearpage \ldots second  page \ldots
\clearpage \ldots third   page \ldots
\end{document}%

Can't the \chapter command know that there is no footer and that the
default page style is "headings"? If it can know these things, why
does it still insist on reverting to pagestyle{plain} and putting a
page number outside the legitimate printable area?

Is there really no way I can blame this on something besides myself?
