So - just to clarify for someone who's not aware of the mechanics of how 
new versions are made and rolled out - when is this fix likely to make 
it into a binary that is accessible? And, when it /is/ available, will 
it be possible simply to replace a single xetex binary in the tex tree, 
or will there be wider implications than that?

Sorry for the (probably stupid) question, but I am keenly interested in 
this - I have been stubbing my toes against this error for some fair time!

Thanks,

David
