I wonder whether this bug should be reopened?

I have corrected the subject which was incorrect and specified the version as 24.3.1 because this is not a regression.

The bug does not occur with bold text, nor with a dotted yeh (ARABIC LETTER YEH); only the dotless version (ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH).  
Eli has already reported that he does not see this problem on Windows. The behaviour is also seen when emacs is configured using "--without-m17n". Configuring using "--without-libotf" results in all glyphs being displayed as isolated.

Should this be reopened? Screenshot attached for evidence.

Thanks,
Mat
