I'm not sure.  All the signs point towards shaping libraries (libotf
etc.) that are not maintained by the Emacs team, or maybe to specific
fonts.  If that is true, I don't see what we can do with this problem.

Can you try upgrading or downgrading to different versions of libotf
and/or libm17n, or use different fonts?

This is expected.  The INSTALL file says:

  * Complex Text Layout support libraries

  On GNU and Unix systems, Emacs needs the optional libraries "m17n-db",
  "libm17n-flt", "libotf" to correctly display such complex scripts as
  Indic and Khmer, and also for scripts that require Arabic shaping
  support (Arabic and Farsi).

So you cannot have Arabic shaping without those 3 libraries.
