Laing - yes, that's exactly how I set my XD2 wide/low up, with an old Campy Record FD. It just barely works, though. I had to position the FD low enough on the ST to avoid the kind of interference problem that Lum Gim is experiencing, but high enough so that the tail end of the derailleur cage doesn't smack into the right chain stay. With that set up, your maximum FD movement just covers the 28T chainring out to the 40T wide one. Oh, and with the FD lower down like that you have to be careful when adjusting the throw so the cage doesn't smack into the bash guard when moved all the way to the right. I took me several trial and error attempts to get it right.
