I tried to reproduce the above behaviour by deleting and adding

In my case (I'm the OP), the problem indeed turned out to be with my
font files--I had two versions of the CharisSIL font files, with
slightly different names. Apparently it (Cygwin, and therefore
XeLaTeX) was picking up the older ones, which were known to have
issues with small caps. I imagine this problem could occur in other
OSs, since the font file naming issue would affect those systems too.
Most OSes use installed fonts so they wouldn't have this problem. This
is because XeTeX (and XeLaTeX) give the facility to point at a
particular physical font that may not even be "installed". In this case
it apparently just chose the first one it found.
