Thanks for the info, Toscho, but I have been using pstricks for certain things and my documents could always compile (by xelatex) seamlessly in Miktex 2.7. I knew that pstricks is essentially designed for dvi output compilers, but was glad that it actually works with xelatex as well, to my surprise. Just recently I upgraded to Miktex 2.9 and when I tried to recompile my documents which use pstricks I got into this.
As Ulrike pointed out, this has nothing to do with XeTeX, it is a Miktex-specific packaging bug and can be currently solved by uninstalling and reinstaling the pstricks package. Regards, S.
