So it can't be something new in babel.
So is it relly true, that XeTeX is not able to apply the TeX hyphenation
mechnanism correctly to some unicode characters like „ß“?
I can't believe it.
That seems unlikely. It's almost certainly being affected by something
that latex or babel or whatever is setting up.
Minimal example, to be run *without* any latex or babel macros:
% >>>>> file "de.tex" <<<<<
\catcode`\{=1
\catcode`\}=2
\input unicode-letters.tex
\input hyph-de-1996.tex
\font\tenrm = "Times New Roman" at 10pt
\hyphenchar\tenrm=`\-
\tenrm
\hsize=2in
\vsize=8in
\parfillskip=0pt
\noindent wußte geißeln wußte geißeln wußte geißeln
wußte geißeln wußte geißeln wußte geißeln
wußte geißeln wußte geißeln wußte geißeln
wußte geißeln wußte geißeln wußte geißeln
\par
\end
% >>>>> end of "de.tex" <<<<<
Run with "xetex -etex -ini de.tex" on TL2012 (the version I happen to
have installed here), this results in a PDF that correctly shows a
hyphen in one instance of "wuß-te" and one instance of "gei-ßeln".
(People without Times New Roman would need to adjust the testcase,
obviously.)
