http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xetex-def/xetex.def:

%%  Version History
%%
%%  2009/11/21  [KB] Version v0.94  merge the two 0.93's.
%%
%%  2009/10/28  [RRM] Version v0.93  fix big-point incompatibility;
%%

Please install the xetex.def from CTAN into your local texmf tree,
the next version of TL will contain the fix.
