with my test file?

Yes, in a sense... you're running into another quirk of TeX: it doesn't attempt to hyphenate the first word of a paragraph. And in your file, every word is the first word of a paragraph!

A quick hack to work around this, and demonstrate that it is indeed the problem, would be to add something like

  \everypar={\hskip 0pt \relax}

after your \begin{document}. This will allow those paragraph-initial words to be hyphenated.

I finally managed to build it in such a way that it identifies itself
with the right version number, I had to do a new clone of the sources
for that, didn't find out how to clean them up. Now how do I set the
parameter, as \XeTeXhyphenatablelength=1023 somewhere in my preamble
or as a command line option to xelatex? The former I'm afraid doesn't
work.

Could it be that in this line from Jonathan lies a clue ?

Note that xetex.fmt (and any other .fmt files) will need to be rebuilt with
the new version.
