Interesting.

I just tried with TeXLive 2013 and 2014 on different Macs.

2013 has the dot!
2014 does *not* have the dot.

For the 2013 installation we have xdvipdfmx-0.7.9
For the 2014 installation,  xdvipdfmx  is version  20140317

I tried using  xelatex -no-pdf  to keep the  .xdv  file.
Then renamed these and copied to the other machine, for processing
with the other version of  xdvipdfmx .
If this would work, then it could identify whether the problem
was in  xdvipdfmx  or due to what is put into the .xdv  file.

No joy came from this test.
Instead, all I get is a fatal error:   Invalid TFM ID: 0 .


It seems that one cannot break up the processing any more,
or at least not in the simple-minded way.
Would one of the developers please explain how to do this 
kind of testing now.



Earlier testing with TeX Live 2012, with  xdvipdfmx-0.7.8 
was just giving the similar error
