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.
