almost certainly correct.

While nearly everything (except the engine-options) is supported by
XeTeX's low-level interface, I expect that context would interpret
such a specification as if you were asking for the file
"minionpro:mapping=tex-test.otf", and it would therefore generate
the wrong low-level syntax.

definately correct.
