You need to have a completely separate expansion for \XeTeX
for use with the hyperref macros that handle bookmarks.

use the  \pdfstringdefDisableCommands   macro,
e.g. as follows:

\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{\def\XeTeX{XeTeX}}

You might want to replace the first 'e' with the "reverse-e" character.
Sorry, its code-point doesn't spring immediately to mind.

\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{%
  \def\TeX{TeX}%
  \def\LaTeX{LaTeX}%
  \def\LaTeXe{LaTeX-2\epsilon}
}

where \epsilon may need to be adjusted to give the correct glyph too.

If you use  \usepackage[unicode]{hyperref}
then the \epsilon should already be adjusted for this.
However, the 'unicode' option prepares Bookmarks for  pdfTeX.
I'm not yet familiar with how it works with the  dvipdfm  driver.

Sorry Herb, this is quite irrelevant. Bookmarks take pure strings.
There is no place for kerning or vertical positioning.

Hope this helps,
