When I run the same file with Amiri:

\showhyphens {bla^^^^200d^^^^200dbla}

I get three pages, one with blabla, one with bla and a box, and another
with bla.
Maybe \showhyphens is not correctly defined in the code above?
Indeed, that \showhyphens will not work with native opentype fonts. This
is a known difference between using TFM-based vs OT fonts; it's been
discussed (and an alternative shown) on the list somewhere in the
distant past.
The output you're getting shows that the hyphenation is in fact
happening as expected. (To get a hyphen rather than a box, you need to
set the font's \hyphenchar appropriately.)
