[XeTeX] Polyglossia 1.0.2: babelshorthands broken?

[Gerrit Glabbart]

Hi,

There's a new feature in Polyglossia 1.0.2 that I'd really like to use:

The "babelshorthands" option enables all the fine-tuning macros that  
Babel offers for hyphenating in the German language. The manual  
explicitly calls this option experimental, but I haven't been able to  
use it at all so far.

Does this compile for anybody?:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
%%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[babelshorthands=true]{german}

\begin{document}

Hier könnte Ihre Nachricht stehen!

\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

What I get is this error:

> ! Missing { inserted.
> <to be read again>
>                    „
> l.8 \begin{document}
>
> ?
> Process aborted


Thoughts?

Gerrit.
