 Same for me.  The problem is that in line 113, we have
.ge5rö
in Latin-1 encoding, but XeTeX tries reading the file in UTF-8.

Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution?

 I only have a nasty hack:  In the patterns directory, run (in bash)

for file in *.pat *.hyp
  do iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <$file >$file-u
done

and in mult-sys.tex, change the lines reading

\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}

to

\doifundefinedelse{XeTeXversion}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
 \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat-u}
 \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp-u}}



 Still, XeConTeXt does not work as expected in the current version:
The plain TeX file

\font\myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3"
\myface
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\bye

works like a charm, but

\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3]

\setupbodyfont[myface,14pt]
\starttext
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\stoptext




Best regards,
        Christopher

There probably is a much better place for this change, but cont-new.tex, afaik, is not read when generating formats and I don't know where the code really should go. It mayalso be possible to fix the behaviour by some regime switchting in the .pat and .hyp files, but I know very little about those commands and haven't tested it. produces an output containing only a lot of accented latin characters, see attached file.
