As TL 2009 contains a more recent version we believed it would contain the fix. Unfortunately the xetex.def was probably pulled from CTAN *after* the fix was removed and *before* it was re-introduced. I'm not sure, if we should re-introduce the patch. On the one hand we'd like to have a bug-free system on the other hand we don't have the man power to keep the texmf tree of a system up-to-date between the TL releases. We'll do it if it is really necessary (i.e. in case of urgent bugs), but not for withlist items.
