The reason is that there is not 'JFIF' header in the test.jpg.
The jpeg driver in XeTeX is not so clever, sorry.
I have added the 'JFIF' header by
convert -density 96x96 test.jpg test1.jpg
See an attached test1.zip.
If I do not use -density option, then the density becomes 1DPI,
thus urx - llx = 45.17feet > 19feet for the test.jpg. In this case, any TeX engine
cannot include such a large image.
