I was able to edit two parameters guided by Xantrex to make the issue go away. You will need the Xantrex Configuration Tool and the tech note / software tool from Xantrex. But otherwise its pretty simple to do. Of course, a firmware update will make the incompatibility go away easier.
Software upgradeability is a great feature on inverters.

The result is that the XW will not connect. A fix is pending but a new firmware release date is not yet predicted.
