In this case I'd first use another name than `function' (this may be the
cause of your problems, and it's an extremely bad choice in any case).

Then I'd try to call `make-local-hook' before add-hook.

And if that doesn't help, I'd ask on compe.emacs.xemacs because it may
simply be a behavior that's different on XEmacs.
