Empty lines highly resemble the old XeTeX. Can you try to put
    \suppressfontnotfounderror\plusone
at the top of your document (only to see if your XeTeX is recent
enough to recognise the command).

What does
    locate dvipdfm.map
say? Can you send a few lines from that file? (It's weird ...)

The problem raises only once per typescript change, so unless one is
planning to switch typeface regularly, typesetting 400 pages would
take 95 seconds+normal processing time for 400 pages. I don't say that
is OK, but I don't experience that problem at the moment (though I
completely believe you, I only don't know where exactly it stops), so
I don't know how exactly to help.

Take a look into font-ini, uncomment the following lines and remake the formats:

          \ifx\xetextempfont\nullfontname
           \writestatus\m!fonts{fails #1: #2 (\xetextempfont)}%
            \expandafter\secondoftwoarguments
          \else
           \writestatus\m!fonts{succeeds #1: #2 (\xetextempfont)}%
            \expandafter\firstoftwoarguments

(Perhaps uncommenting these lines shold be done in the distro for some
period to make debugging easier.)
