I had a look at my xelatex.log and there's something weird:

Sanskrit appears twice. Maybe it's the ghost (language 5 or 6?) who is 
responsible for the strange results we had. So it might not be a XeTeX 
bug but simply that the hyphenation file has to be included in another 
way. A kind LaTeX expert could probably tell us.

Kind regards,
