Dear Kornel,
I hope to have solved the "XeTeX + Awesome" mystery:

OK, now I see it is loaded in the tex output -- however, this is due to the
line
#
\DeclareLaTeXClass[moderncv,ebgaramond.sty,fancyhdr.sty,fontawesome.sty,ifpdf.sty,marvosym.sty]{Modern
CV}
in moderncv.layout.
The edit of the example "unearthed" a dependency problem with moderncv.layout
that can occure when
* compiling with XeTeX,
* fonts awesome installed for LaTeX but not declared a system font.

It is actually a non-standard character in the private use area:
Font Awesome is a free (CC-BY-3.0) icon font from GitHub, that contains
several different icons for various purposes. It is designed for web
usage, and thus all the characters are defined in the private unicode
range to avoid confusing screen readers.

I am not sure whether this is a good idea, but here you are...

Indeed, the LuaTeX problem is different, it does not depend on moderncv or
the awesome font.
