 Is `xemacs -batch' supposed to load site-start.el? 
Yes.  It's a deliberate feature.

 This caused a (minor) problem when building, due to an error in my
 site-start.el file (expecting emacs-beta-version to be an integer).

 It would seem (to me) more logical for -batch to imply -vanilla.

-batch implies -q.  Stuff loaded and actions performed by
site-start.el are equal in effect to things dumped with the XEmacs
binary.

The strongest argument against making this change is that it could
cause a great deal of breakage to people with scripts using XEmacs
-batch.
