No, it's not about the syntax, but rather about the list of accepted
names for input encodings.

Apart from those three in regi-syn (only left for backward-compatibility):
    \defineregimesynonym [windows]      [cp1252]
    \defineregimesynonym [grk]          [8859-7]
    \defineregimesynonym [iso88595]     [8859-5]
and maybe some others in regi-cyp/cyr, XeTeX seems to accept a wide
variety of names, so I would suggest the following fix in
regi-ini.mkii:

\beginXETEX

% no idea what these do, but may be left if needed:
    \let\mkloadregime   \gobbleoneargument
    \let\mkenableregime \gobbleoneargument
    \let\mkwalkregime   \gobbleoneargument
    \let\mkautosetregime\gobbletwoarguments

    % sets input encoding to whatever the user asks for. utf is mapped to utf-8
    \def\enableregime[#1]%
       {\doifelse{#1}{utf}%
           {\message{Specifying UTF-8 input encoding/regime is not
needed in XeTeX, but if you do it,}%
            \message{please use [backslash] enableregime[utf-8]
instead of [utf].}%
            \edef\currentregime{utf-8}}{\edef\currentregime{#1}}%
        \doifnot{\currentregime}{utf-8}{\message{You are highly
encouraged to switch over to UTF-8 input encoding.}}%
        \XeTeXinputencoding{\currentregime}%
        \message{Using input encoding/regime \currentregime}}

\endXETEX
