I suspect you can think so because you use a language
in which there is little difference between utf8 and
normal encoding, for CJK (, Arabic, Hindi, ?) I'm afraid
things are not going so magically ;-)
Anyway it is fine if XeTeX neglects \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
but it seems to me that they provide only ifxetex package which
detects XeTeX.
You might already know it but a simple workaroud will be
to modify your file as
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex\else
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\fi
or more directly
\expandafter\ifx\csname XeTeXrevision\endcsname\relax
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\fi
then it will be processed correctly with latex or xelatex.
(not a fix but at least possible workaroud)
I can't tell if this bug(?) should be forwarded to the
upstream or not. I guess there is more knowledgeable member
in this list.
