There is something different. I get in the *... output* buffer:

	Running `XeTeX' on `AAT-info' with ``xetex -interaction=nonstopmode  
"\input" AAT-info.tex''
	This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.997 (Web2C 7.5.6)
	entering extended mode
	(./AAT-info.tex [1] )
	Output written on AAT-info.pdf (1 page).
	Transcript written on AAT-info.log.
	
	XeTeX finished at Sun Jan 13 10:47:23

This does not seem to come from my post ...


In TeX menu -> Customise AUCTeX you can select to Extend this Menu.  
Upon next entry you'll see much more entries. Choose from TeX menu ->  
Customise AUCTeX -> TeX Command -> TeX Command list…. Now you'll see  
all the *TeX commands. Compare XeTeX with some other TeX. I have:

I wonder whether checking ConTeXt is correct ... Anyway, save your  
work first by only pressing the "Set for current session" button and  
try to XeTeX a file. If this succeeds, then you'll can press the  
"Save for future sessions" button. The Local Variables block at the  
end of the file can include the TeX command:

	%%% Local Variables:
	%%% mode: TeX
	%%% TeX-command-default: "XeTeXx"
	%%% coding: utf-8
	%%% TeX-master: t
	%%% End:
