Original report by Anonymous.
Trying to use fnpct with polyglossia, an undefined control sequence is invariably met on \begin{document}:
#!text
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \baselanguage
{French}
l.7 \begin{document}
?
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \baselanguage
{\languagename }
l.7 \begin{document}
?
Minimal non-working example (compile with XeLaTeX):
#!latex
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\usepackage{fnpct}
\begin{document}
Hello\footnote{world}.
\end{document}
Output with \listfiles:

***********
I guess this was introduced by v0.4, but I don't know what package is supposed to provide \baselanguage (since babel doesn't mention it either). My workaround now is to \def\baselanguage#1{#1} before \begin{document}, but that's not ideal.

Original comment by Clemens Niederberger (Bitbucket: cgnieder, GitHub: cgnieder).
This is not a bug, the MWE works fine on an up to date system.
\baselanguage is provided by the translations package since v1.1 (2013/08/05), i.e. since a few months ago. You simply need to update your TeX-distribution.
