  This is correct behaviour.  Well, at least it is consistent with the 
way Knuth designed TeX to work.

*\showhyphens{absurd}

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm ab-surd

*\showhyphens{non-absurd}

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm non-absurd

I don't think XeTeX should change that.
