Are babel and xelatex really compatible?  I'm not sure that they are. But this isn't the source of the problem.

Ok.  Is devanagari.sty compatible with xelatex?  I wouldn't think so.

devanagari.sty redefines @starttoc and sets the default encoding to OT1 (an odd choice.)

After loading devanagari.sty add the following:

\def\DNencdefault{EU1}
\def\DNrmdefault{lmr}

This superficially seems to solve the problem.
