In the french group someone mentioned a similar problem but (like
you here) without exact code. 

I can't reproduce the problem (with miktex) with this example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
abc fi
\end{document}

This uses LinLibertine_R.otf (version 5.1.3).

I would at first check if you have double versions of some fonts
(xelatex can be easily confused by this). 

Add \XeTeXtracingfonts=1 to your document and compile with 

xelatex --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -vv"  file

The check in the log-file and in the terminal output the pathes of
the used fonts.
