Thanks.

Jason and Kenichi, could you please take a look at this problem?  The
first question I'd ask is whether this is specific to Windows, or do
we have similar problems on GNU/Linux with libotf?

Sergei, could you please try invoking Emacs with the
`-xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdi' command-line argument, and see if the
problem persists with the GDI backend?  That's assuming that GDI at
all supports Arabic shaping; I don't know enough about this to tell,
sorry.
