These two characters are diacriticals. I'd also ask to please do the
same with cursor on the base character (consonant), where a problem
happens. For example, on the LAMED from the first screenshot.
Also, can you try with a more standard font, like DejaVu Sans Mono?
And finally, do you know what version of the libm17n-flt do you have
installed? This library is used for shaping text of scripts such as
Arabic and Hebrew.

I attach them below, since you didn't CC the bug address.
