I am still converting my pdflatex codes to XeLaTeX.
Minimal case
\documentclass{article}
% The Question -environment works with these two lines
% \usepackage{amsfonts, amssymb, textcomp, mathtools, xparse}
% \usepackage[T4, OT1]{fontenc}
% http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/213457/13173
\usepackage{mathtools, xparse} % load mathtools before loading fontspec
% amsmath never needed with mathtools
\usepackage{amsfonts, amssymb, textcomp} % not sure if these are necessary
% http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/213430/13173
\usepackage{polyglossia} % also loads package fontspec
\setmainfont{Minion Pro} % or whatever OTF you have on your system
\setmainlanguage{english} % loads language hyphenation rules and such
\usepackage{unicode-math} % if you also need maths
\setmathfont{Cambria Math} % or whatever math OTF you have on your system
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz]{mdframed}
% Problem here
% This environment do not work with the above packages
\mdfdefinestyle{ans}{
linecolor=cyan,
backgroundcolor=yellow!20,
frametitlebackgroundcolor=green!40,
frametitlerule=true
}
\newcounter{question}[section]%
\setcounter{question}{0}
\newenvironment{question}[1]{%
\refstepcounter{question}%
\begin{mdframed}[style=ans,frametitle={Question: #1}]
}{%
\end{mdframed}%
}%
\begin{document}
\begin{question}
{Is this Lorem Ipsun?}
Yes, it is.
\end{question}
\end{document}
where the mdframed -package seems to designed with pdflatex, since it works with the two lines (7) and (8).
The strange errors
suggests me that the new packages do not understand the syntax which I have used with Question -environment.
Errors and warnings are like this
*************************************************
* unicode-math warning: "mathtools-overbracket"

* Using \overbracket and \underbracke from `mathtools' package.
