This is a known difference between using TFM-based vs OT fonts; it's
been discussed (and an alternative shown) on the list somewhere in the
distant past.
There is code, by Enrico Gregoria, for a replacement \showhypens buried
deep in the file "xltxtra.dtx" (attached). However, the code is
completely incomprehensible to me, I have no idea how to convert a .dtx
file into anything usable, and I cannot find a plain XeTeX equivalent.
