The arcs package depends on the relsize package which did change a few months
ago in a way that requires a small change in the arcs package. You need to add
the line (just after \RequirePackage{relsize} is a good place}
\long\def \@gobblethree #1#2#3{}
and then change the line
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobbletwo
to
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobblethree
because, in relsize.sty, the macro \rs@size@warning is now defined to have
three arguments, the last of which (6.0pt) was being left as printable text.
This problem is a LaTeX issue and has nothing particular to XeTeX.
