As far as I can see marginnote use only \pdflastxpos, and here it
seems to work if you replace in (a local version of) marginnote in
line 191 "\noexpand\number\pdflastxpos" by
"\noexpand\the\noexpand\numexpr\noexpand\number\pdflastxpos
-\noexpand\number\hoffset\relax"

But I have no idea how XeTeX calculates the vertical values
(\pdflastypos), and also the values at the lower left are odd:
instead of \hoffset, -\voffset they seem to be 2*\hoffset and
-2\voffset.
