As far as I know, the current teTeX shipped with texmf.cnf
with entries like the following;
% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{plain,generic,}//
but XeTeX package puts xkeyval.sty etc. under
/u/l/s/texmf/tex/xelatex
^^^^^^^^
so xelatex did find xkeyval.sty of tetex but not of xetex.
