Thanks for testing and reporting this.

I have just pushed a code change to sourceforge that aims to fix this. 
As part of the fix, the limit has been revised again, so we now have a 
max \XeTeXcharclass value of 4096 (the "ignored" class), and the special 
boundary class is 4095.

Akira, if you could update your build for people to test, that would be 
great -- thanks!

Please test not only the interchar feature, but also the e-TeX extended 
registers (i.e. dimen, count, etc registers beyond 256), as the changes 
here also affect the implementation of those registers, and it's very 
possible that I may have introduced new bugs there.
