If Norbert who implemented engine recognition > cannot answer you, I'm clueless as well. I answered that already in the bug report. THe problem is that mktexfmt does not have *any* idea of under which engine it is running, so it cannot in any way create the right format, but creates the first matching, and that was in that case the context format based on pdftex. That was then loaded (tried to be loaded) into xetex which somehow didn't work out. I explained how to circumvent that, and furthermore in Debian this is done by default anyway (formats pre-generated). For Jonathan: We might think (together with Karl) about how to extend mktexfmt so that it gets an idea under which format it is running.
