Tufte \newthought with \gls

Question

I want to insert a \gls acronym into \newthought.

\documentclass{tufte-book} 
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\newacronym{ds}{DS}{Directional Sensitivity} % define acronym label/short/long
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}

\newthought{The \gls{ds}} of hair cells

\printacronyms
\end{document}

This works as expected with pdfLaTeX. However, when rendered with XeLaTeX:

! Package glossaries Error: Glossary entry `{ds}' has not been defined.

\glossaries v4.37

No error is throw with:

\newthought{The \glsentrytext{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentryshort{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentrylong{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentryname{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The Directional Sensitivity} \gls{ds} of hair cells

However, no acronym is rendered from all examples except the last one (because it is outside \newthought.

But,

• I need to use the \gls for the first time in \newthought, otherwise it mucks up later uses
• I want to use \newthought to emphasise the new topic, e.g. Directional Sensitivity, which is best defined as an acronym
• I want to use XeLaTeX for unicode support.

The output when using pdfLaTeX:
