It was xdvipdfmx's fault. I'm attaching a patch I sent to dvipdfmx authors.
Jonathan, please, apply it when they accept it into dvipdfmx.

BTW, is there any easy way to compile xdvipdfmx using the kpathsea library in
TeXlive2008? While testing the patch, I compiled it using kpathsea from Debian
and had to run it with TEXMFMAIN=/opt/texlive/texmf
TEXMFDIST=/opt/texlive/texmf-dist environment variables. TeXlive2008, however,
doesn't seem to come with libkpathsea.so :-(. Or, well, I can wait until the
patch gets back to me via TeXlive update -- any ideas how long it may take?

Regards,
