I found an answer at the following:

 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/296308/xelatex-setmainfontcmu-serif-produces-wrong-characters

Based on that, you can work around the problem by commenting out the 
type1 fonts in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-texlive.conf, like this:

$ cat /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-texlive.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
   <dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
   <dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
   <!-- <dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</dir> -->
</fontconfig>

Then rerun the command '/usr/libexec/fc-cache-1 -sv' from 
/etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh.

What puzzles me is that the link above says that the problem is caused 
by bugs in xdvipdfmx that have been fixed in TeX Live 2016.  I'll look 
into this and try to find out why it still seems to be broken.
