Shouldn't the point curve adjustments in ACR saved in an XMP along side the file be readable in LR. I find it just doesn't work.

It does...but once you update the XMP from within Camera Raw, in Lightroom you'll need to go to the Metadata menu and Read Metadata from File in oder for Lightroom to see the updated XMP data.
