Thanks, Ulrike and Peter! When I compile the above example, I get "abc - ".

I try hard not to confuse xelatex by double installations and don't
have any other versions of Libertine installed.

I get this:

<AGL:texglyphlist.txt>[1<LinLibertineO(Linux Libertine
O:Regular)@9.96pt<NATIVE-FONTMAP:LinLibertineO/H/65536/0/0>

It seems, libertine-legacy is causing the problem, which must be what
Peter meant. I suppose yesterday's update caused this, since I have
not changed anything font related on my computer? The minimal example
posted by Ulrike compiles fine with Linux Libertine and the output of
that compilation is this:

<AGL:texglyphlist.txt>[1<LinLibertine(Linux
Libertine:Regular)@9.96pt<NATIVE-FONTMAP:LinLibertine/H/65536/0/0>
