The next hyperref version 6.81p will address this issue and
sanitze all anchor names for \hy...@anchor and \hy...@anchorstart.

With my test file I don't get an error message:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[debug]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\cite{au:yp}
\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem[Mustermann, 2010]{au:yp}
Mustermann, H. (2010).
\newblock Test.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

All drivers should be fixed in 6.81p.

Babel has \...@safe@activestrue and \...@safe@activesfalse to switch
the behaviour of shorthands. Hyperref 6.81p uses \...@safe@activestrue
inside a group to sanitize the anchor names only.

I can't reproduce it using
hyperref 6.81m and polyglossia 2010/07/27 v1.2.0a
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{french}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[debug]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\cite{au:yp}
\begin{thebibliography}{}
\tracingmacros=1
\bibitem[Mustermann, 2010]{au:yp}
Mustermann, H. (2010).
\newblock Test.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
