Lets create a product that has option class "size" populated with S,M,L. Now lets make it as variants and put 0 in size S - (somebody has just bought your last S). X-cart shows S properly as "out of stock". But one can still filter by size S and get this product listed, even if "in stock only" checkbox is checked.
It does not make much sense for me - I believe if a customer wants to find size S, he should get products that have S available, especially with "in stock only" checked. He filters for S that is in stock, right? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for noticing it. Actually, this is a tricky issue. Let me try to explain.
Imagine there are two classes with two options each, combined in four variants. For example,
Color: Red, Green
Size: S, L
the resulting variants are:
Red S
Red L
Green S
Green L
Now, let's say "Red S" variant is out of stock. How in this case should the filtering behave? In fact, there is no problem if the filters selection is as follows:
Color: Red
Size: S
In this case we can disable "In stock only" filter but what if it's chosen like:
Color: [not selected]
Size: S
or
Color: Red, Green
Size: S
Should it disable "In stock only" filter in these particular cases? It's a hard question, isn't it?
This is a very basic variants example. Imagine, there are 10 classes with 10 options each. A customer will have to choose one and only one attribute from each variants-related filter to have "In stock only" react basing on variants stock levels.
Nevertheless, I've registered this in our bugtracker - we will think what can be done here. Your suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
