Well if the text width is 0pt it will only break once, no?
Normally, I'd expect a break at every opportunity if the width is 0pt.
In plain (xe)tex,
\hsize 0pt
\noindent \hskip 0pt supercalifragilisticexpialidocious \par
gives me essentially one syllable per line.
But in the Arabic-script Amiri example this doesn't work for me. I
suspect this is a bug in xetex.
I begin to believe that in plain TeX ^^^^200d is treated just like any
other character,
so the problem lies not in XeTeX, but in polyglossia+fontspec somewhere
there is some
special treatment of ^^^^200d so that my LaTeX code doesn't work.
I have opened an issue on the polyglossia github…

Pushing some more in this direction, my code below (with
Amiri-Regular.ttf being
in the same directory) hyphenates the second and third "blabla"
(consistent with
Yannis' reminder that the first word is not hyphenated) but only
hyphenates in a
single place (the first one) in the sequence of ^^^^xyzt afterwards.
