Sure it is (at least in the problem that arised here). Niels is using "s
(something I haven't done for years), this is defined as \ss, and
xunicode remaps it -- but only for the EU1 encoding if it is loaded
after fontspec... I hope you remember our discussion ;-)

It is not hyphenated: schlie-ßen, Grü-ße.
