You are nearly duplicating xa_load_or_alloc() here. 
Is xa_destroy() is really needed here? In the end we destroying an empty
xarray.

Unless xa_destroy() is a must something like this would be simpler IMHO:

And if xa_destroy() is actually required, the allocation of new xarray
should be a helper function.
