Thank you for the info.  I installed that font and confirmed the wrong
rendering as you wrote.

It seems that this patch should be applied to the file BENG-OTF.flt
which is included in m17n-db package.

diff --git a/FLT/BENG-OTF.flt b/FLT/BENG-OTF.flt

I attach a version which contains the above change.  Please put that
file under ~/.m17n.d and start Emacs again.

Does it work?  Doesn't it have a bad side effect for the rendering of
other Bengali pattern?
