Exactly! This is the difference between XeTeX and luaTeX. The code that follows isfrom xetex.web

@d special_char=65537 {|biggest_char+2|}@d span_code=special_char {distinct from any character}
@d cr_code=span_code+1 {distinct from |span_code| and from any character}
@d cr_cr_code=cr_code+1 {this distinguishes \.{\\crcr} from \.{\\cr}}
and this code is from luaTeX's align.h:
#  define span_code 1114114     /*  {|biggest_char+3|} */
#  define cr_code (span_code+1) /* distinct from |span_code| and from any character */
#  define cr_cr_code (cr_code+1)        /* this distinguishes \.{\\crcr} from \.{\\cr} */
