The difference between xetex and xelatex is the font:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par

\fontencoding{OT1}\selectfont
Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par

\end{document}

or in plain xetex:

Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par

\font\test="[lmroman10-regular.otf]"\test
Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par

\bye
