Thanks for the explanation.  Right now, I can't repeat the issue.

The only thing which looks strange to me is that, the mode line in the
`*xxx output* buffer starts with

 1:**

(but the UTF-8 contents of the log file as emitted by XeTeX is
correctly displayed).

I will try that as soon as I encounter the problem again.

Will do!
