has to do with context entering utf mode (and expanding replacement chars for chars not in the current font; a fall back mechanism); since i now ship patterns in utf i explicitly need to disable the non-xetex utf handler; this is fixed in the release i uploaded yesterday (i just tested and i get proper pattern loading for xetex as well as pdftex)
