The cbx files in the langsci package in TeXLive 2017 is given priority over these by XeLaTeX #36

I don't quite know what the best solution to this would be. But here's an issue I just ran into: the langsci package in CTAN (which is part of TeXLive) contains a file also named sp-authoryearcomp.cbx. But that file lives under $TEXMF-DIST/tex/xelatex/ and not inside $TEXMF-DIST/tex/latex/biblatex/. As a result, xelatex gives it priority over the cbx file that is part of this package (assuming that file lives here: ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex/sp-authoryear-comp.cbx as per the instructions.)

I've currently just symlinked to the cbx file that is part of this package from inside ~/Library/texmf/tex/xelatex/ and that seems to do the trick.

Thank you, we're aware of the issue. It's been addressed at the langsci end. See https://github.com/langsci/latex/issues/50 and https://github.com/langsci/CTAN/issues/2. If you update TeXLive (via the TeX Live Utility, for example), you will get a version of langsci that doesn't have the offending files.
