I can understand your confusion here. The difficulty for me is to  
understand the information that fc-list is giving and how it is  
related to how XeTeX interprets it.

You said that fc-list gives:
   Warnock Pro SmBd,Warnock Pro:style=Regular,Semibold

But to select the font, you use just "Warnock Pro".
To select semibold, the fontspec command above is a shorthand for  
"Warnock Pro Semibold" (the * is just replaced by the nominal font  
name), but I don't see how that would be inferred from the fc-list  
output. Maybe I'll have to start testing on XeTeX under Windows...
