One issue is that the Malayalam section as it is, now in the Unicode
standard has problems. There is a set of 5 characters called "Chillaksharam"
which are not there in the standard. TDIL (some organization in Govt of India
which does language related work) has proposed some new changes, which
sort of, solves this issue. So current tools handle "chillaksharams" is their
own non-standard way. One way is <base char>+<halant>+<ZWJ>. This might be a
reason you see alot of ZWJ in that text. I may be wrong though...
