I don't understand. *What* should happen?

During install/update of xetex the fc-cache is run already.

Do you mean when new *fonts* are installed, then we should run
fc-cache?

Ok, that can be done.

That needs only documentation and users should do that. There is
already the option to use
	tlmgr conf texmf FC_CACHEDIR '$TEXMFVAR/fonts/cache'
(if I remember correctly).
