Hi Ross,

The problem is wider-ranging. I experienced this as a beta-tester of 
Gerben's experimental setup a week ago. Attempting to run XeTeX with 
TL2004 results in Czech hyphenation formats being read instead of the 
standard ones during creation of xetex.fmt and xelatex.fmt (and babel 
being thus messed up). I think this results from the TDS having changed 
between TL2003 and TL2004. I noticed this by remarking first that, in a 
paper I'm writing, the figures, previously with captions "Figure 1: 
blah blah blah", got captions "Fig. 1: blah blah blah". Then I realized 
hyphenations points had changed as well.

This is one of the issues, I think, which have delayed Gerben's release 
of his new setup.

PS: Some technical details. With TL 2004, during creation of pdfLaTeX 
you'll get:

On the other hand during creation of XeLaTeX you'll get:
