By the way, if anyone is interested, I found out that the only way to fix
this without having to explicitly change all the occurrences of \textipa in
my document(s) was to add something like this *in the preamble*:
\let\oldImplementTIPAtext\implementTIPAtext
\def\implementTIPAtext#1{\oldImplementTIPAtext{#1\relax}} % renewcommand
doesn't work here

…At least something "in the neighbourhood of" \scantokens, as some tracing
reveals:
[without xltxtra:]
{changing \...@encoding=macro:->OT1}
{into \...@encoding=macro:->T3}
{the letter a}
{end-group character }}
[with xltxtra:]
\implementTIPAtextx #1->\scantokens {#1}\egroup
#1<-a
{\scantokens}
{the letter a}
{blank space }
{end-group character }}
…but my TeXnical knowledge stops here. :-(
