Memoir is already capable to tell the media size to XeTeX and
it does it automatically:
\newcommand*{\fixpdflayout}{%
\pdfpageheight=\the\stockheight
\pdfpagewidth=\the\stockwidth
\ifxetex\else
\ifdim\pdfvorigin=0pt\pdfvorigin=1in\fi
\ifdim\pdfhorigin=0pt\pdfhorigin=1in\fi
\fi}
\newcommand*{\fixdvipslayout}{%
\AtBeginDvi{\special{papersize=\the\stockwidth,\the\stockheight}}}
\AtBeginDocument{%
\ifxetex
\fixpdflayout
\else
\ifpdf
\ifnum\pdfoutput<\@ne
\fixdvipslayout
\else
\fixpdflayout
\fi
\else
\fixdvipslayout
\fi
\fi}
Therefore you do *not* need:
* setting the media size manually using \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight,
* using package geometry,
* command line options for XeTeX/xdvipdfmx.
A minimal example shows that memoir indeed sets the correct
paper size:
% File: test.tex
% Command line: xelatex test.tex
\listfiles

***********
Media size of the generated PDF file is 498.9bp x 708.66bp
or 176mm x 250mm that is the correct size for B5.
If your memoir comes from the stone age (before XeTeX and its support),
then update. Otherwise a minimal example and the command line call
help in finding the cause of your problem.
